The Los Angeles Dodgers are making big moves, but are they done adding to their bullpen?

The Dodgers generated shockwaves on Monday when it was announced that they'd outbid the New York Yankees to acquire Gold Glover Tommy Edman in a three-team trade.

Notably, Los Angeles also received veteran reliever Michael Kopech from the Chicago White Sox in the deal.

Despite the new acquisitions that will undoubtedly improve the Dodgers' World Series odds, Los Angeles' president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman is still on the prowl for more improvements before the deadline officially hits on Tuesday night.

Specifically, the Dodgers could add another reliever if the right opportunity presents itself over the next 24 hours.

The Athletic's Jim Bowden reported on Sunday that Los Angeles has been eyeing a reunion with Washington Nationals right-hander Dylan Floro, who won a World Series with the Dodgers in 2020.

"The Nationals have received a lot of interest in Floro, an impending free agent who has a 1.94 ERA over 50 appearances," Bowden said. "He could end up in the NL West via a trade to the Dodgers or Padres."

Will Friedman keep his hot streak alive this deadline season and make another trade, this time for Floro?
