Report: Dodgers still interested in Rays starters
Despite their acquisition of Rich Hill, the Los Angeles Dodgers are still eyeing more rotation upgrades.
According to ESPN’s Jayson Stark, the Dodgers are still in on Tampa Bay Rays starters, though without the same sense of urgency.
Hearing that the Dodgers, even after reeling in Hill, are still talking with the Rays about their starters. Not as much heat to deal now

With Hill in the fold, the Dodgers no longer have to go all out to make a deal. They have been linked to this Rays ace, and they still have the prospects to do it. That said, their sense of urgency is probably less than it was before the Hill trade, and they can play hardball if they are quoted a price they don’t like.
