Dodger general manager Paul DePodesta has begun looking for pitching help, though some more teams might need to fall out of the race for anything to happen, according to Mark Thoma of MLB.com.

DePodesta is prepared to part with some Dodger prospects, though of course he did not say which ones.

"We've already put some calls out there and had some initial conversations," he said. "Ideally, we'll be able to stabilize our starting pitching. Right now, that's probably the most important issue for us to address."

"A lot of teams, most times, aren't ready to do something until the end of June or early July at the earliest," DePodesta said. "There aren't many that consider themselves out of the race yet, and that certainly limits the number of available players."

Later in the article, DePodesta gives Dodger manager Jim Tracy and the coaching staff a vote of appreciation, saying they've done a "very good job."
