Dodgers News And Rumors: Maholm Looking Forward To Opportunity In LA



Paul MaholmWith Bronson Arroyo signing a two-year contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Los Angeles Dodgers turned to left-hander and former Atlanta Brave, Paul Maholm, as a potential answer to the team’s search for a fifth starter.

In Maholm, the Dodgers have a pitcher who can anchor the back end of the rotation or be moved to the bullpen to provide long-relief help, despite his inexperience in the area. Maholm’sΒ lone season with the Braves in 2013 resulted in a 10-11 record and 4.41 ERA.

With six weeks until the Dodgers face the Arizona Diamondbacks in Australia, Maholm has plenty of time to acclimate himself to a new environment and sort out where he’s best suited on the team. Β Maholm is expected to compete with Josh Beckett, who is recovering from TOS surgery, for the final spot in the rotation.
