As the July 30 MLB trade deadline rapidly approaches, the Los Angeles Dodgers are actively searching the market for pitching and it appears likely addressing their need will require parting with a few prospects in the coming days.
While the Dodgers’ farm system has taken a hit in recent years due to trades and promotions, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman still has talented players he can trade. Friedman hasn’t been afraid to part with prospects in the past, notably acquiring Yu Darvish (2017) and Manny Machado (2018).
With the Dodgers focused on pitching at the trade deadline this season, they have most prominently been linked to the likes of Washington Nationals ace Max Scherzer, the Colorado Rockies’ Germán Márquez, and José Berríos of the Minnesota Twins.
