The Dodgers have yet to have their projected opening day roster for a single game yet the one weakness that is beginning to show is the bullpen. Here are some reliever targets that could be acquired at the deadline.

Almost through the opening month of the 2019 regular season, the Dodgers have emerged with a 15-9 record.  It has been a solid start for a team that usually doesn’t start fast despite missing some key players.  The one area that the Dodgers could use some help in, is the bullpen that has had plenty of scary moments.

Joe Kelly was signed to strengthen the bridge to Kenley Jansen but he has gotten off to a slow start in LA.  Dylan Floro and Scott Alexander have been very good for the Dodgers but outside of them, the other relievers have had their share of rough outings.

While Craig Kimbrel is still a free agent, the Dodgers are unlikely to pay him top dollar with big money already committed to Jansen and Kelly.  Here are three relievers who look like potential trade deadline targets for the Dodgers.
