On Friday, Los Angeles Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said the team is looking to acquire a starting pitcher to bolster their rotation.

“The conversations have picked up a little,” said Colletti. “It doesn’t seem that anything is really hot. There are six or seven weeks to go [until the July 31 Trade Deadline]. Teams holding on to pitchers, their value won’t go down unless they get hurt.”

Colletti said Mariners pitcher Cliff Lee isn’t his target, but Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reminds us that colletti made a strong run at Lee last summer and is reported after him again. The Mariners want a young slugger in return, so Los Angeles may need to bring a third team to make a Lee deal work.

“When we’ve got an opportunity to make a move, we’ll bring it up at that point,” Colletti said.
