The Los Angeles Dodgers' passion for their second consecutive World Series victory is sincere. The stove league is so hot that it melts away.

MLB Trade Rumors (MLBTR), which deals with major transfer news in the Major League, said on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) that the Dodgers are close to recruiting reliever Kirby Yates (38).

According to USA Today's Bob Nightingale, the Dodgers and Yates have reached a tentative agreement. The contract is signed after completing the physical examination, the media said. "If everything goes well, the deal will be announced in the next few days."
Yates, a veteran right-handed bullpen pitcher, started his professional career by being drafted by the Boston Red Sox as the 798th pick in the 26th round of the 2005 MLB Rookie Draft. Yates, who entered the big league with Tampa Bay in 2014, recorded a respectable record of 26 wins, 21 losses, 52 holds, 95 saves and an earned run average of 3.17 in 422 games until last year.

In 2017, he played for the Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres, recording 20 holds. In 2019, he finished with the San Diego Padres, earning a career-high 41 saves. Last year, he played a strong role as a guardian for the Texas Rangers with 61 games, 7 wins, 2 losses, 33 saves and an earned run average of 1.17.
Bob Nightingale of "USA Today" said, "The Dodgers recently learned that Michael Kopech had an injury that could leave him for at least a month," adding, "The details of (Kopech's) injury are not known, but this may have influenced the Dodgers' decision to sign Yates."

The Dodgers, which won the World Series last year, are not satisfied here and are constantly recruiting players from the stove league for their second consecutive win. It added a "first-line issuance" pitcher to the starting rotation by recruiting Blake Snell, a two-time Cy Young Award-winning left-hander, for five years and $182 million. It then recruited Kim Hye-sung, a "Hyesung Express" who applied for MLB posting in the 먹튀검증 KBO League to strengthen the infield depth.
The team has secured victory in the race to recruit Japanese monster pitcher Roki Sasaki, who throws speeds of up to 165 kilometers per hour, focusing on the composition of the starting lineup. The league's top-ranked starting pitchers have been completed, including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Snell and Sasaki, who will join Tyler Glasnow, and Otani, who will resume hitting as both pitching and hitting. On top of that, the team has plenty of potential starting pitcher candidates, including Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, and Bobby Miller, and analysts say that it is possible to establish a six-star starter system.
This was not the end of the game. Dodgers, which has the strongest starting rotation in the league, has beefed up its bullpen. Just two days ago, it recruited Tanner Scott, a top-rated left-handed bullpen dubbed the Otani killer, to kill two birds with one stone, increasing Ohtani's anxiety and performance in the bullpen. Then, it hired Yates, who has extensive experience and can even serve as the closing pitcher.

MLBTR said, "The Dodgers continue to be aggressive in the offseason by recruiting Scott, Snell, Teoscar Hernandez (re-contract), Blake Treinen (re-contract), Michael Confoto, and international star players Kim Hye-sung and Sasaki. The recruitment of such players took place in LA, which is seeking its second consecutive World Series title for the first time since the Yankees won three consecutive games in 1998-2000."
