While the Los Angeles Dodgers are “kicking the tires” on
late-inning relievers Joel Hanrahan and Brian Wilson, the club is not in on
free agent right-hander Rafael Soriano, reports Jim Bowden of ESPN.
Dodgers still "kicking the tires" internally on both Joel Hanrahan & Brian Wilson with goal of deepening bullpen...not in on Rafael Soriano

The Dodgers continue to target late-inning arms this winter.
Now that they’ve supplemented their starting rotation by signing the likes of
Zack Greinke, they have turned their attention to the bullpen.
The Pirates are reportedly pushing Hanrahan in hopes of
acquiring starting pitching in return. Los Angeles has veteran starters Chris Capuano
and Aaron Harang to offer, leading many to speculate they are a fit for
Pittsburgh.
Wilson parted ways with LA’s division rival, the San
Francisco Giants, after missing most of the 2012 campaign due to injury. Soriano
opted out of his contract with the New York Yankees and hit the open market
following the 2012 season.
