For as much as the Los Angeles Dodgers have been tied to top-flight starting pitchers ahead of the non-waiver trade deadline, they’ve reportedly also refused to include any of their top prospects in negotiations.
The Texas Rangers are believed to have asked the Dodgers to include Walker Buehler or Alex Verdugo in a potential trade for Yu Darvish. Late Sunday night the Rangers were said to have accepted Buehler would not be part of any deal.
Although Los Angeles has other trade chips throughout their farm system, Texas isn’t believed to be nearly as high on them.
