Los Angeles Dodgers, Trade Dustin May
Digest more
The Los Angeles Dodgers have some needs with their pitching, ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Bob Nightengale revealed some of those needs.
With a glaring need to add depth in the bullpen again, the Dodgers will likely be buyers. USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale provided some options to consider. Among them: Jhoan Duran of the Minnesota Twins and Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians.
Kelly, 37, pitched for the Dodgers from 2019 to 2021 and then again from the 2023 deadline until the end of 2024. The first stint was more successful than the second one. From 2019 to 2021, Kelly had a 3.59 earned run average over 105 1/3 innings for the Dodgers. He struck out 26.9% of batters faced and got grounders at a 59.9% clip.

The Los Angeles Dodgers could use some help. After starting the season 56-32, the Dodgers find themselves in a 2-10 slump, with pitching depth yet again proving to be an issue as injuries mount. That has made the team an obvious buyer ahead of the MLB trade deadline on July 31.
