Dodgers: LA shouldn’t pay the asking price for Josh Donaldson

Third baseman Josh Donaldson is the biggest free-agent bat on the market now that Anthony Rendon is an Angel. The Dodgers have some interest in Donaldson but the Nationals and Braves are considered the front runners to sign him. The bidding for Donaldson is expected to reach four years and over 90 million dollars.

At that asking price, the Dodgers should skip out on signing Josh Donaldson who will play next season at 34 years old. While Josh Donaldson would be an upgrade defensively over Justin Turner at third base, his defense is going to slip over the next few seasons as he continues to age into his late thirties.
