Given that Austin Barnes replaced him as the starter in the 2017 postseason, it should come as no surprise that the Dodgers are reportedly willing to trade Yasmani Grandal.
Rival clubs say #Dodgers are willing to trade catcher Yasmani Grandal, who is entering his final season of arbitration eligibility. Grandal started 2 games in postseason; Austin Barnes started the other 13. @MLB @MLBNetwork

It makes sense. Grandal will likely walk after next year, he could be used to get something the Dodgers need more than a backup catcher (and he’s expensive to boot), and the team appears to trust Kyle Farmer.
