In recent years the Los Angeles Dodgers rejected trade overtures for Joc Pederson, Corey Seager and Julio Urias. This past offseason, Yadier Alvarez, Cody Bellinger and Walker Buehler were added to that group.
During the Dodgers’ search for a second baseman, the Minnesota Twins seemingly had an answer in Brian Dozier. However, Minnesota reportedly coveted a trade package including at least one of Alvarez, Bellinger and Buehler, in addition to Jose De Leon.
Los Angeles refused to part with the trio, and De Leon was instead traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for Logan Forsythe.
