The Los Angeles Dodgers have been wheeling and dealing this offseason, primarily to bring in players. They added the two biggest free agents and made trades for two key players.
The Dodgers may be interested in making some more deals, and they could end up clearing some money up via trade or shoring up positions of weakness out of positions of strength. Regardless, there are a few players who could be traded elsewhere before Opening Day.
Which Dodgers might be traded?
3) Jason Heyward
With the addition of Teoscar Hernandez and having traded for Manuel Margot from the Tampa Bay Rays, the Dodgers suddenly have a surplus of outfielders. That may mean that Jason Heyward could be shipped elsewhere even though he recently renewed his contract. He's a player they don't really need, so he's a true trade candidate right now.
2) Blake Treinen
All teams need relief pitchers, so there's a market for Blake Treinen. With pitching now a huge strength for the Dodgers, Treinen could be an odd man out. He has trade value but he's not untouchable, which could lead the Dodgers to consider a move. Plenty of teams missed out on star free agent relievers, and there could be a lot of interest.
1) Chris Taylor
Chris Taylor plays a ton of positions in the infield and outfield, so he's extremely valuable. However, he isn't necessarily needed at those positions now that the Dodgers have a lot of depth. They could package him for another big player since most teams would be interested in someone who can play infield and outfield. The Dodgers just have so many players right now that it makes sense.
