The Los Angeles Dodgers have bolstered their bullpen by acquiring former All-Star closer Alexis Díaz from the Cincinnati Reds for minor league reliever Mike Villani. Díaz, who boasts a commendable 2.47 ERA and 47 saves over 2022-23, has seen a dip in performance in 2024, with a 3.99 ERA and lower strikeout rate. He began this season poorly, allowing eight runs in six innings and has struggled in Triple-A with a 4.61 ERA. The Dodgers aim to revitalize Díaz at their spring training facility to support a depleted bullpen that has five high-leverage relievers on the injured list. Currently, they are counting on Ben Casparius as their only trusted right-handed option.
