Justin Verlander Rumors: Contract Option May Be a Hang Up for Dodgers in a Potential Trade

As you likely know by now, the Los Angeles Dodgers rotation hasn’t performed up to par.

The entire pitching staff has a 4.51 ERA on the year, a number that’s extremely concerning for a Dodgers franchise that’s been able to rely on their arms throughout their domination of the NL West over the last decade, and a team that’s trying to solidify playoff positioning.

The trade deadline is on August 1 at 3 PM, and the team is still in pursuit of another starting pitcher after acquiring Lance Lynn from the Chicago White Sox last week.
