A contending team — let alone a team 2 1/2 games out of first place in its division and 2 1/2 games up in the wild card standings — would be insane to trade an elite relief pitcher. But after seeing what the Cubs gave up for Aroldis Chapman on Monday, the Dodger front office has to be wondering, “What could we get for Kenley Jansen?”
Let me preface this by saying there’s a minuscule chance Jansen is actually traded, but if any front office is going to have the guts to move a guy like Jansen, it’s this front office.
