"While there's yet to be much movement with position players, teams have aggressively targeted pitchers. Dylan Cease was the first big-name free agent to sign with a team, joining the World Series runner-up Toronto Blue Jays on a seven-year, $210 million contract. But it has been the reliever market in particular that has seen the most action, with Raisel Iglesias, Ryan Helsley and Devin Williams all signing new contracts."
"Since the start of the 2020 season, Fairbanks ranks 15th in FIP (2.95), 16th in WAR (5.5) and saves (88), 17th in strikeouts per nine (11.2) and 19th in ERA (2.90) among relief pitchers with at least 200 innings. The Dodgers reportedly did have interest in acquiring Fairbanks at the trade deadline this year, but the Rays ultimately decided to keep their closer."
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Miguel Rojas to a one-year, $5.5 million contract and otherwise remained quiet in free agency. Teams have focused on pitching, with Dylan Cease signing a seven-year, $210 million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays. The reliever market has been active, including Raisel Iglesias, Ryan Helsley and Devin Williams signing new contracts, which reduces options for the reliever-needy Dodgers. Edwin Díaz remains a plausible target but likely exceeds the Dodgers' budget. Robert Suarez appears to be the best available reliever who could fit their spending plans, while Pete Fairbanks remains unsigned but reportedly not being engaged by Los Angeles.
