Breaking News: Dodgers Sign Reliever Tommy Kahnle to Two-Year Contract

Kahnle Returns to Mound After Two Years

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a significant addition to their bullpen by signing free-agent reliever Tommy Kahnle to a two-year contract.

A Proven Performer

Kahnle, 33, is a veteran reliever with a proven track record of success. Before undergoing Tommy John surgery in August 2020, he was one of the most dominant relievers in Major League Baseball, posting an ERA of 2.81 with 10.3 strikeouts per nine innings over the previous three seasons.

A Welcome Reinforcement

Kahnle's return to the mound is a major boost for the Dodgers, who have been struggling with their bullpen this season. The team's relievers have the third-highest ERA (4.54) in the National League.

Key Piece for Dodgers' Playoff Push

With Kahnle in the fold, the Dodgers now have a formidable bullpen that includes All-Stars Craig Kimbrel and Evan Phillips. This move should provide the team with much-needed stability and depth as they prepare for the playoffs.
