Los Angeles Dodgers: Add starting pitching

The Dodgers’ rotation is also in flux. Lance Lynn has a $19 million club option that is certainly going to be declined. Clayton Kershaw is considering retirement. The only sure things are youngsters Bobby Miller, Ryan Pepiot and Emmet Sheehan.

For a Dodgers team that has World Series aspirations, they need more definitive and veteran answers.

The Dodgers understood that at the trade deadline, agreeing to a deal to acquire left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez from the Detroit Tigers. But Rodriguez invoked his no-trade clause and left the Dodgers scrambling for answers. Could they pursue a free agent like Jordan Montgomery or Lucas Giolito? Or could they turn to the trade market, where right-handers Corbin Burnes and Dylan Cease figure to be the topic of trade rumors?
