The Dodgers are doing just fine, but they’d be doing a lot better if they made these 5 trades.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the position that they’re in right now because they didn’t make trades. They’ve been patient with their young talent, and patient with their aging stars. Due to the injury to Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers decided to trade for Bud Norris to fill some immediate needs. In order for the Dodgers to remain competitive, they need some healthy starters in their lineup.
Trailing the San Francisco Giants by a lengthy margin but leading the National League wild card chase leaves the Dodgers in a position to buy. Los Angeles has not won the World Series since 1988, and the fan base in Tinseltown is desperate for another parade down the streets of our second-largest city.
To get there, the front office will have to make some serious moves, perhaps sending out some young talent to bring home a legitimate star.
Here are five players the Dodgers could conceivably trade for to keep the gravy train rolling.
