Earlier this week, Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes met with the media in Las Vegas for the GM meeting to discuss a wide range of topics. One of the topics at hand was the Dodgers’ approach to a closer role for the 2023 season.
The 2022 Dodgers’ closer situation was a roller coaster, to say the least. LA’s all-time leader in saves, Kenley Jansen, left for the Atlanta Braves in free agency last season leaving the Dodgers in disarray all season long in terms of the closer situation.
The Dodgers traded AJ Pollock to the White Sox for Craig Kimbrel near the start of the 2022 season, but that was a total disaster.
