Teams Focus on Pitching for Postseason and Future

As the MLB postseason approaches, several teams are focusing on strengthening their pitching rotations for both the present and future seasons. The Cleveland Guardians aim to bolster their rotation by potentially acquiring Miami Marlins' Jesus Luzardo, while the Los Angeles Dodgers face significant pitching challenges with multiple injuries and may rely heavily on Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Jack Flaherty. The Kansas City Royals, looking to build on their surprising 2024 season, might pursue Nathan Eovaldi or Charlie Morton if Michael Wacha opts out. Similarly, the Baltimore Orioles, with new ownership, could prioritize re-signing Corbin Burnes or targeting Blake Snell. The Milwaukee Brewers, despite trading away Corbin Burnes, remain postseason contenders and might consider signing Walker Buehler as rotational insurance. Finally, the Texas Rangers have extended GM Chris Young's contract, with a focus on retaining Nathan Eovaldi and addressing other rotation needs.
