The Los Angeles Dodgers added Kirby Yates to their already stacked roster. Several teams deserve blame for allowing that to happen.

The Dodgers had interest in Kirby Yates earlier in the offseason. Is a match still possible? Read more at MLB Trade Rumors.

The Dodgers had already added a plethora of pieces to their championship squad and established themselves as super-team villains — in part by convincing players to agree to deferred money in their contracts, a trend popularized last year by Shohei Ohtani, whose $700 million contract includes $680 million in deferrals.

The Dodgers are building a super bullpen to round out their super team. Los Angeles has agreed to a one-year contract with right-handed reliever Kirby Yates, sources told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand on Tuesday.

No contract has been finalized yet, but it appears as though the Dodgers are on the verge of their latest notable addition this offseason in Kirby Yates.

The Dodgers’ offseason spending spree has included signing Blake Snell to a five-year, $182 million contract and inking Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki to a minor league deal.

Before landing Yates, the Dodgers agreed to terms with former Padres closer Tanner Scott on a four-year, $72 million deal. And before that, they brought back Blake Treinen on a two-year, $22 million deal.

Yates becomes the latest big acquisition in a huge Dodgers offseason. He’s their second marquee pickup in the late innings. Los Angeles signed Tanner Scott to a four-year, $72M pact with deferrals not long before agreeing to terms with Yates.
