Dodgers Reportedly Interested in $80 Million All-Star Closer

Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly interested in acquiring All-Star closer Robert Suarez from the San Diego Padres. They aim to improve their bullpen, which struggled despite past attempts to strengthen it. Suarez's successful track record makes him a desirable candidate for the Dodgers.

Key Facts

  • The Dodgers added Tanner Scott to their bullpen last year but he did not perform as expected.
  • Robert Suarez, from the San Diego Padres, is another option the Dodgers are considering.
  • Suarez has a strong record with a 2.91 ERA over the last four years.
  • He has recorded 76 saves in the past two seasons.
  • The Dodgers might offer Suarez a four-year contract worth $80 million.
  • The Dodgers are considering Suarez because Edwin Diaz, a top reliever, may be too costly.
  • Signing Suarez would strengthen the Dodgers' bullpen and weaken their rival, the Padres.
