These two third basemen are arguably the top two players at the hot corner that are available via free agency, and maybe in general. If the Dodgers could acquire either of them, it would surely be a beneficial move for the defense, for the lineup, and more than likely for the clubhouse as well, as both players are veterans who have led teams into the postseason before.
The Dodgers failed to get past the Washington Nationals in the 2019 postseason. Even though the Nats went on to win the World Series, they really, on paper, should not have beat the Dodgers.
