The Dodgers have interest in free-agent starter Kyle Lohse, Mark Saxon of ESPN Los Angeles reported Wednesday.

According to CBSSPorts.com insider Danny Knobler, the Dodgers' top free-agent starter targets are Zack Greinke and Anibal Sanchez. The Dodgers already possess six MLB starters -- Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley, Josh Beckett, Chris Capuano, Aaron Harang and Ted Lilly -- so Lohse would likely represent a backup plan if the Dodgers fail to acquire Greinke or Sanchez.

Lohse, 34, posted a career year in 2012, with a 2.86 ERA (134 ERA+), 16-3 record and a 3.76 K/BB, all career bests. He declined the Cardinals' qualifying offer this offseason. Therefore, any rival team will have to forfeit a first-round pick to sign him. For his career, Lohse owns a 4.45 ERA (97 ERA+) with a 2.19 K/BB.
