Los Angeles Dodgers rearm their bullpen, landing Edwin Diaz as closer in a clear win-now statement. Is this revamped relief corps finally built to dominate October?
Harry Ruiz and Travis Rodgers break down whether the addition of Diaz, plus Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen, and a deep supporting cast can fix past late-inning woes and shorten games to five innings.
Key questions loom about defined bullpen roles, injury returns—like Brusdar Graterol — and which young arms could break through. The hosts also spotlight the surge of non-roster invitees at spring training, including top outfield prospects Zyhir Hope and Josue De Paula.
Are these moves about development or trade leverage for blockbuster deals? Plus, what’s next for former Dodgers ace Walker Buehler after his puzzling free agency limbo? Get plugged in for urgent discussion of bullpen volatility, prospect showcases, and the high-stakes strategy powering the Dodgers’ latest World Series push.
