With less than a week until the MLB trade deadline, the Dodgers are among the clubs to express interest in White Sox reliever Joe Kelly, according to FanSided’s baseball insider Robert Murray.
Kelly is one of the likeliest players to change teams within the next five-plus days. The 35-year-old is sitting on a 4.66 ERA over 30 appearances and has allowed 5.45 earned runs per nine over parts of two seasons in Chicago.
The player is no stranger to the Dodgers. He pitched with L.A. from 2019-21, winning the World Series in the second of those years. The 12-year veteran posted a 3.59 ERA over 105 1/3 regular season innings in Dodger blue and appeared in all three of their postseason runs during that stretch.
The Dodger bullpen ranks 18th in the majors with a 4.13 ERA entering play Wednesday. They’re 11th in strikeout percentage (24.4%) and ground-ball rate (44.7%).
