Dodgers Pursuing High-End Bullpen Upgrades
Briefly

The Dodgers are looking for relief pitching to address injuries impacting their bullpen. They are interested in closers like Emmanuel Clase, David Bednar, Ryan Helsley, and Felix Bautista. Despite signing Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen, and Kirby Yates, the team's relievers have underperformed and rank 24th in the majors for earned run average. David Bednar appears likely to be traded given the Pirates' position as sellers. His recent performance includes a 1.74 ERA and strong strikeout rates, making him a valuable asset in the bullpen market.
Bednar is earning $5.9MM this year and is owed one final raise in arbitration... has been in vintage form since returning from a brief two-week demotion.
Over his past 31 innings, Bednar boasts a 1.74 ERA with a massive 36.4% strikeout rate against a 5.8% walk rate.
