With a 2.08 ERA, seven strikeouts, and one save in limited postseason innings, Kahnle would fit seamlessly into the Dodgers&#8217; already elite bullpen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kahnle spent a year with the Dodgers in 2022 and Los Angeles could look to bring him back on a short, affordable deal.<\/p>\n<p>The righty was excellent last season. He would be another huge addition to the Dodgers&#8217; bullpen. The Yankees will likely pursue him aggressively as well, but it&#8217;s tough to blame anybody for wanting to join the powerhouse Dodgers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers have done nothing but improve this offseason.
