New Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Edwin Diaz was unveiled less than a week ago. However, he has already been named the closer for the upcoming season by the president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman.
The Dodgers have clear bullpen issues heading into the upcoming season, and a hole at the closer spot, making it a no-doubt proposition that he will take the ball to close out games.
In other news, Tyler Glasnow, in a recent interview, spoke about the trade rumors that linked him to a trade package for ace Tarik Skubal. As an older, more expensive arm, Glasnow could free up money for an extension while giving the Dodgers the chance to move on from an injury-prone arm, though the righty dumped cold water on that idea.
Finally, former Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips was connected to a move eastward, pegging him to leave the Dodgers after the organization non-tendered him.
