With July coming next week, the Dodgers are beginning to scout potential trade pickups around the league. The latest rumor came yesterday as the Dodgers were once again linked to Pirates ace closer Felipe Vazquez. It’s not the first time the Dodgers have been linked to Vazquez and it won’t be the last.
Along with the rumor, came an interesting tidbit from Jon Morosi, as he tweeted that the Pirates will likely ask for Keibert Ruiz to be included in a potential deal. An interesting suggestion considering the Padres traded Brad Hand and Adam Cimber to the Indians and got back a top 20 prospect and catcher in Francisco Mejia a year ago.
