    The Los Angeles Dodgers have cast a wide net before Thursday's trade deadline -- inquiring about starting pitchers and relievers and listening to whatever inquiries they get on one of their extra outfielders -- but general manager Ned Colletti said Saturday that traction has been slow.

    "You know what? We may not do anything," Colletti said. "We've still got a club that's solid, that still has upside to it, so I think there's still more in this club. Have we won four in a row yet? I think there's still a strong run in this club as it's currently constituted. That said, we've been historically active in July and August, sometimes, and we'll continue to see what else we can do."

    The Dodgers are content with closer Kenley Jansen and left-handed setup man J.P. Howell, but they have lacked reliable alternatives for the seventh and eighth innings. The back of their rotation has shown some signs of fraying, with Josh Beckett dealing with a torn labrum in his left hip and Dan Haren struggling badly enough that the team decided to skip his next start.
