MLB Trade Deadline: 5 best spots for Mike Trout
1. Los Angeles Dodgers
If the Angels are really going to trade Trout, sending him to the National League would obviously be preferred. How about just sending him across town?
While they have yet to really put it all together at the major league level this season, the Dodgers are one team who rival the Cubs and Red Sox when it comes to collection of young, impact players.
Shortstop Corey Seager is the name that immediately comes to mind, but he would be about as untouchable as possible, even in a Trout trade.
That being said, the Dodgers certainly have the pieces to make a potential trade like this work. If Seager is not involved, then left-handed pitcher Julio Urias certainly has to be. Urias is only 19-years-old and has already made the big leagues.
He is an extremely talented pitcher who could headline a package heading to the Angels in exchange for Trout. He is that good.
Pitching prospects like Jose De Leon, Frankie Montas and Grant Holmes would also be likely to be involved, along with other major league pieces like Joc Pederson and Trayce Thompkins.
The Dodgers just have a ton of valuable players all over the place in both the major leagues and in the minors. If trading Trout becomes a reality, keeping him in LA is certainly a possibility.
