The Los Angeles Dodgers are seasoned in navigating the MLB Trade Deadline, typically positioned as buyers rather than sellers. Known for their proactive approach, they have frequently engaged with teams below contention, including the Chicago White Sox, reportedly discussing pitcher Garrett Crochet, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.
Despite their strong 52-33 record and leading the National League West by 7.5 games, the Dodgers are anticipated to make strategic additions before the deadline. Unlike sellers, they are likely to tap into their deep farm system to secure these acquisitions, potentially involving both prospects and active roster players.
Given their third-ranked farm system, the Dodgers are expected to attract significant interest in their top prospects. This necessitates their readiness to part with promising talents to secure key players available at the deadline. Among the speculated targets like Crochet, Luis Robert, Bo Bichette, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Dodgers could consider dealing their third-ranked prospect, right-hander Nick Frasso.
