Dodgers pursue Adrian Morejón to enhance bullpen with Edwin Díaz

Summary

The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to target San Diego Padres reliever Adrián Morejón this offseason. Following the signing of Edwin Díaz last winter, the Dodgers aim to bolster their bullpen with another high-caliber arm. Morejón, who pitched 86 innings this season, is currently weighing a qualifying offer from the Padres worth $23.15 million for one year. If he enters free agency, the Dodgers are positioned to make a competitive play, given their recent history of acquiring top talent. Their push for Morejón reflects an ongoing strategy to create a formidable relief duo with Díaz.
