Report: Dodgers ‘very aggressive’ in pursuit of Francisco Lindor, Mike Clevinger
The Los Angeles Dodgers have been fairly quiet so far during the offseason, but if one report is to be believed, they’re trying very hard to change that.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Dodgers have been “very aggressive” in their pursuit of Cleveland Indians stars Francisco Lindor and Mike Clevinger, and they’re also keeping in touch with the Boston Red Sox regarding Mookie Betts.
The #Dodgers are the team to watch. They are being very aggressive in pursuit of Francisco Lindor and Mike Clevinger of Cleveland and remain in contact with the #Redsox on Mookie Betts. SS Corey Seager is their top trade chip veteran players.

The Dodgers seem determined to do something this offseason. They will definitely have competition in the Lindor sweepstakes, but Clevinger is an interesting one. He’s just entering his first year of arbitration, and one would have to believe he’d have a huge price tag attached to him. He’s only 29 and posted a 2.71 ERA last season, and with it looking likely that Hyun-Jin Ryu will leave, they’ll need another quality starter.
