The Los Angeles Dodgers are interested in acquiring a number of very good baseball players at this year’s trade deadline. One of those very good baseball players is Detroit Tigers righthander Michael Fulmer, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale. While Fulmer is likely one of many players on their wish list, he was mentioned second to only Manny Machado in Nightengale’s tweet.
But unless the Dodgers are prepared to offer a substantial prospect package, don’t expect this deal to get done. The Tigers never got all that close to dealing Fulmer to the New York Yankees when they came calling last winter, presumably because Gleyber Torres was off limits.
