The Dodgers’ Enigma: What’s Holding Back Baseball’s Most Promising Powerhouse?
The bullpen’s 4.21 ERA is 21st in baseball, and a lot of that is on the signings and re-signings of this year. Tanner Scott was given a lot of money to be an elite reliever but has an ERA over 4.00. Kirby Yates and Blake Treinen both have ERAs over 4.00 as well.
The Dodgers envisioned this trio as one of the best back-end units in the game. Instead, they’ve all been below-average.
LA probably thought last season was the worst-case scenario in terms of pitching injuries and bad luck. The team is learning that just because things are bad doesn’t mean they’ll get better.
