Treinen's save opportunities appear likely to drop, as Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports the Dodgers acquired Craig Kimbrel in exchange for AJ Pollock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Treinen was already looking at less than a true closer's role, with the Dodgers reportedly planning on having no dedicated closer and giving the right-hander frequent high-leverage usage. Bringing in Kimbrel, who ranks ninth all-time in saves and leads all active players, probably means the team intends to go back to a more traditional setup, but not in a way that benefits Treinen. The team has yet to officially announce its ninth-inning plans, and Treinen did sport a better ERA than Kimbrel last year by a margin of 1.99 to 2.26, but the safe bet seems to be that his save chances will drop considerably.
