The Dodgers haven’t been the same pitching wise this season as in years past. Both the bullpen and starting rotation have dealt with more injuries than they would like to count and inconsistency has bled into multiple player’s games. The team will be in search of pitching as the trade deadline approaches to upgrade the roster and give them the best chance at possibly winning the World Series this season.
While some common names have been thrown around by many pundits, one MLB insider brought up a name that Dodger fans are certainly familiar with. Insider Jim Bowden of The Athletic mentioned New York Mets starter Justin Verlander as a potential option for the Dodgers.
