Dodgers Showing Interest in Cardinals’ Ryan Helsley Ahead of Trade Deadline

The Los Angeles Dodgers may hold a modest four-game lead in the NL West and boast one of the best offenses in baseball, yet their bullpen continues to be a defining factor in their inability to pull away from the pack. Injuries play a large role, with Blake Treinen, Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech, and Tanner Scott all missing portions of the season. The struggles have forced Los Angeles' president of baseball operations, Andrew Friedman, to scour the trade market for viable relief arms, a point of frustration, especially after spending over $100 million on the position during the offseason.
