The Los Angeles Dodgers’ search for relief pitching has hit a snag. While the team would like to acquire some of the top arms available at the trade deadline, they do not want to overpay, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' scope for acceptable outfield trade targets may be wider than it initially appeared at the start of trade deadline season.

Lux, who has two World Series rings with the Dodgers, was made available a year after missing all of 2023 because of a knee injury when the Dodgers closed a deal with South Korean free agent second baseman Hyeseong Kim ($12.5 million, three years) a few days before sending Lux to the Reds.
