Dodgers' Bullpen Just Got Even Scarier: What Does Yates Bring to the Table?
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2025 3:30 pm
The Los Angeles Dodgers are making headlines again, and this time it's with the addition of All-Star reliever Kirby Yates to their already stacked bullpen. With the recent signing of Tanner Scott and now Yates, the Dodgers are clearly not holding back in their quest for another World Series title.
But here's where the conversation gets interesting: Are the Dodgers building a super bullpen, or are they risking too much on aging players? Yates, while impressive last season with a 1.17 ERA, is turning 38 soon and has a history of injuries. Can he maintain this level of performance, or are we witnessing the twilight of his career?
Moreover, with the Dodgers seemingly able to pick and choose their moves, what does this say about the current state of MLB? Are we seeing a widening gap between teams willing to spend big and those who are not?
Let’s also consider the implications for the rest of the league. With the Dodgers bolstering their roster, how do other teams respond? Will we see a flurry of trades and signings as teams scramble to keep up?
I want to hear your thoughts! Do you think the Dodgers are making a smart move, or are they setting themselves up for potential disappointment? What are your predictions for Yates this season? And how do you see the landscape of MLB changing with these kinds of signings? Let’s dive into this!
