Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported that team may be hesitant to accquire Davis.
Teams worried about #Royals’ Davis: Command off, Ks down, BBs up. Threw 33 pitches vs. #Angels last night, walked three, allowed two runs.

Los Angeles already has one of the best closers in the game on their roster in Kenley Jansen. However, they were close to accquire Aroldis Chapman in the offseason and they could be looking for that lethal 8th and 9th inning combination.
Davis, a World Series champion has been dominate over the last three years. The two-time All-Star has posted a 1.60 ERA this season to go along with 21 saves.
There’s no question that Wade and Jansen would be dominant; but is a reliever really what the Dodgers need?
