There still seems to be some belief that front-office boss Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers will make a mighty splash in either the free agent or trade market sometime during the 2019-20 offseason.

Once the big players like Stephen Strasburg, Gerrit Cole and Anthony Rendon were snagged by rival clubs, a rumor was circulating about the Dodgers’ potential interest in Cleveland shortstop Francisco Lindor. Ensuing gossip had Los Angeles linked to one of the best starting pitchers on the Indians’ staff, Mike Clevinger, despite the Tribe having dealt former ace Corey Kluber to the Rangers.
