Dodgers Interested In Blake Treinen
5 years agoThe Los Angeles Dodgers are interested in relief pitcher Blake Treinen, according to a source. Treinen was non-tendered by the A's on Monday after he had a rough year with Oakland, posting a 4.91 ERA, 1.62 WHIP, 59 strikeouts and 16 saves in 58 2/3 innings. The 31-year-old right-hander was the best reliever in baseball in 2018 and picked up his first All-Star selection when he had a microscopic 0.78 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, a career-high 11.2 K/9 and 38 saves for the A's. He could easily bounce back in 2020, and Los Angeles would be a great spot to do it as a setup man for closer Kenley Jansen. Treinen might not have an avenue to consistent save chances next year, but he could be very attractive in leagues that count holds.
