Monday night the Dodgers’ bullpen were the culprits of another game blown in the late innings. It’s time for LA to give some internal options a look.

Another solid outing by a Dodgers’ starting pitcher was wasted in the late innings of Monday’s loss.  While sloppy defense and poor clutch hitting also contributed to last night’s loss against the Angels, the common denominator of most losses has been the bullpen.  Dylan Floro and Joe Kelly allowed runs late with Kelly allowing the go-ahead runs.

While the Dodgers could turn to the trade market for a bullpen boost, it’s important to remember that the team has traded a good amount of talent over the past few seasons. Also, an opposing team will have all the leverage knowing that the Dodgers are desperate for relief in the late innings. With that in mind, here are three internal options who could give the bullpen a boost.
