We still don’t know if a 2020 season will be played, so it might seem a bit premature to worry about who will be playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021. However, starting pitcher Trevor Bauer made headlines this weekend when he told a fan that he hopes to play in Los Angeles someday.
The Valencia native is set to be a free agent next offseason, and he could be the most sought after pitcher in a relatively weak market. If the back-end of the Dodgers starting rotation does not prove to be reliable in 2020 (or if the season is canceled entirely), Bauer might find himself on Dodgers president Andrew Friedman’s radar.
