Dodgers continue to build bullpen, re-sign Blake Treinen to a two-year contract

LA Times  

The Dodgers addressed one of their top priorities this offseason Tuesday by re-signing Blake Treinen to a two-year contract with a team option for the 2023 season. He compiled just 7.7 strikeouts per nine innings — his lowest figure since he broke into the majors — but his walk rate dropped to 2.8 per nine innings. The club acquired right-hander Corey Knebel, a former All-Star closer, from the Milwaukee Brewers in November as another reclamation project after bumpy return from Tommy John surgery in 2020. Last week, they signed right-hander Tommy Kahnle to a two-year deal with 2022 in mind; he underwent Tommy John surgery in August and won’t pitch in 2021.
