Dave Roberts reveals Dodgers' focus at MLB trade deadline
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers are struggling with injuries to key bullpen players like Tanner Scott, which raises concerns about their relief pitching. Scott is expected to return this season, but he joins several other high-leverage pitchers on the injured list. This has prompted the Dodgers to pursue potentially available relievers as the trade deadline approaches. Manager Dave Roberts mentioned the focus on relief pitching while expressing confidence in their hitters bouncing back, indicating the team's strategic priorities amid current challenges.
I think intensifying it is probably a fair word, given the uncertainty of the leverage guys that we have, we don't have right now. But I do think that we've shown in the past that if there's a trade that needs to be made for a high-leverage guy, we'll do that. We've had some good success of that.
Well, I think that on the offensive side, with the guys that we have scuffling with the bat, those are essentially four or five trade pickups in itself.
Relief pitcher seems to be the biggest area of concern for the Dodgers, and they are likely to bet on rebounds from their hitters rather than make a splash move to improve the lineup.
So the team, the guys, are working hard and kind of trying to figure out what makes sense for the roster. So everything's in play.
