[NOWnews今日新聞] The MLB Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching staff had an ERA of 4.57 last year, ranking 20th among all 30 teams in the major leagues. Therefore, the Dodgers made frequent moves in the off-season, in addition to recruiting Japanese second-hand players. In addition to Shohei Ohtani, in terms of pitching, they also acquired the ace Yushin Yamamoto of the ORIX team, and also welcomed the Rays ace Tyler Glasnow through the trade. Their starting strength has been greatly improved. Now there is news that they also want to win a Cy Young player. Cast Shane Bieber.

According to a report by Major League Baseball official website reporter Juan Toribio, the Los Angeles Dodgers are currently observing that even after the additions of Yushin Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow, and veteran “Eagle King” James Paxton, have also joined the Dodgers, the Dodgers are still quite concerned about former Cy Young strongman Shane Bieber. Interested, it also caused a sensation in the outside world.

According to Juan Toribio, after the Dodgers introduced Yamamoto Yushin and Glasnow in December, the club “studyed” the feasibility of trading Corbin Burnes, Dylan Cease, Shane Bieber and Jesus Luzardo. However, Burnes has been traded to the Orioles before, and Dylan Cease, after frequent flirtations with the Dodgers in the early offseason, now seems to have less and less chance of transferring to the Dodgers before the opening game. On the other hand, Shane Bieber and Jesus Luzardo have not been publicly linked to the Dodgers this offseason. It is unclear whether the Dodgers will continue to recruit these two pitchers after James Paxton joins, but for the league’s most important players this winter For an aggressive team, these two pitchers will definitely be players that the Dodgers hope to acquire.

The 28-year-old Shane Bieber, compared to his own high standards, was experiencing a rather sluggish season last year. Due to elbow inflammation, Bieber only started 21 games last season, with a record of 6 wins and 6 losses. ERA is 3.80. Despite this, the two-time All-Star and 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner has remained one of the top starting pitchers in the league over the past five years in the major leagues. Shane Bieber has also previously stated that if he is traded, he will be willing to discuss contract extension with the new team, which means that the team that gets Bieber will have the opportunity to have a fairly stable starting pitcher for a long time.
