Dodgers Urged to Add All-Star Reinforcement as Insider Issues Bold Warning Over Looming Rotation Woes

If the rich truly do get richer, then one team might soon be investing in yet another golden parachute for their rotation. While others scramble with duct tape and prayer, one franchise continues its tradition of panic-buying stability when things so much as twitch. Enter the Los Angeles Dodgers—because why develop depth when you can just acquire someone else’s best arm at the first sign of trouble?

Are the Dodgers in trouble? NO! Absolutely not. But are things getting difficult from the pitching perspective? Yes. The Dodgers’ pitching rotation has some holes that need to be filled. If they want to go deep into the postseason, these gaps must be addressed. There is one guy in the market who can solve this, and that is Martin Perez.

The 41-year-old does not seem to be part of the long-term plan with the Chicago White Sox. He is expected to be traded before the deadline, and he might be a great addition to the Dodgers. The Dodgers’ rotation is currently very injury-prone. Players like Tyler Glasnow and Blake Snell have been sidelined many times, missing parts of the season. Even now, Snell is on the 15-day IL due to inflammation. Other than them, there is news of Clayton Kershaw coming back, which will add to the positives.

Perez would still be a good addition because pitchers like Roki Sasaki need time to get into rhythm. And when postseason arrives, they will need more pitching depth. Looking at how the season is going, the Dodgers are already postseason-bound. With him in the rotation, pitchers like Yamamoto can benefit.

But of course, the Dodgers aren’t the only potential landing spot for the White Sox lefty. The Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers are also speculated to join the queue for Perez, and both are demonstrating playoff caliber. Things are only about to get more intriguing from here on out.

As the Dodgers inch closer to postseason glory, one thing is crystal clear: their pitching depth, while formidable, is far from foolproof. In a world where stability is bought at a premium, Perez could very well be the reinforcement they need to avoid a potential meltdown. After all, why risk the unknown when you can add a proven arm, right? Let’s face it—the Dodgers might not need Perez, but they’ll certainly want him. After all, what’s a championship run without a little insurance?

Dodgers legend targets return to help pitching rotation

After months of waiting, endless speculation, and perhaps even some fan-induced voodoo rituals, the day is nearly here. Clayton Kershaw, the man whose name is practically synonymous with Dodger greatness, is gearing up for a return that feels more like a myth than a reality. The question on everyone’s mind: Can the ace still deliver, or is this comeback just another chapter in an already legendary saga? The countdown begins.

The LA Dodgers seem to be getting ready to strengthen their pitching rotation and tighten their hold on the league. “The Claw,” a.k.a. Kershaw, seems to be the one who will help them tighten the grip. After being away from the mound for the past few months, Kershaw is back. However, he’s currently in the minors.  This rehab assignment in the minors is a significant step in his return.

He says that he expects to be fully healthy and return to the mound on May 17 against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. In the game he played in the minors, Kershaw pitched for 3 innings. He gave away 2 hits and no runs. Those three innings showed a small glimpse of what Kershaw can do when fully healthy.

If those three innings were just the trailer, Dodgers fans might want to start lining up for his first game. Kershaw’s arm may have aged, but his legend hasn’t lost a step—or a strike. Come May 17, Dodger Stadium won’t just witness a game; it’ll host a resurrection. And if all goes according to plan, “The Claw” might just grip the league once more—wrinkles, screws, and all.
