1. Los Angeles Dodgers

Here we are with Spring Training right around the corner and the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t have a starting third baseman figured out. While that title would usually belong to Justin Turner, he and the Dodgers are yet to work out a deal in free agency. Turner hasn’t signed with anyone.

What is Los Angeles waiting for? Well, if they decide they don’t want a reunion with Turner, they could go ahead and make Chicago an offer for Bryant and have him take over the duties over at the hot corner.

After winning the World Series last year, Los Angeles looks primed to compete for the title once again in 2021. Imagine if they traded for Bryant. Not only would they have quite the player inserted into the lineup, but they’d instill fear into the Astros, Yankees, Padres, Braves and others. This feels like a win-win for the reigning champs.
