As Major League Baseball's trade deadline nears, the Dodgers are primarily focused on their bullpen needs, possibly considering starting pitchers due to ongoing injuries. Interestingly, president Andrew Friedman seems to downplay the need for a left fielder despite Michael Conforto's struggles. However, Conforto's recent performance, which included a key home run in a win against the Rockies, has raised questions about his potential recovery and its impact on the team's roster decisions moving forward in the season, especially given his poor overall statistics.
If their injury-plagued rotation takes any more hits, they might reluctantly have to explore the starting pitching market, as well.
But, when discussing the team's deadline plans recently, the one potential area of offensive need that president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman seemed unlikely to address was left field.
On Tuesday night at Coors Field, Conforto gave such optimism some badly needed life.
The question now is whether Tuesday was a temporary blip, or a legitimate turning point for Conforto?
