In my previous post, I mentioned some moves that the Dodgers could make with freeing up the cap space with the latest trade with the Reds. In this post, I am going to take the time to mention a few other options that could help fill out the lineup in 2019. The Dodgers currently only have three projected starters that hit from the right side of the plate, Justin Turner, Chris Taylor, and Austin Barnes. . . To put it nicely, “WE NEED SOME HELP!” With that, I thought it would be fun to try and come up with some possibilities for trades that would bring a right handed bat to LA, and then rate the possibility of the trade actually happening. First we will start off with. . .

MIGUEL ANDUJAR — If the Dodgers would be able to spring a deal that brings Andujar to LA, he could immediately fill in at second base. After the 2020 season, Miguel could slide over to 3rd base to fill the vacancy left by Justin Turner. Dodgers would have to be willing to let go of some highly rated prospects and/or MLB ready players to get any type of deal done with the Yankees. Although this is an enticing option for the Dodgers, the likelihood of a deal being struck is not likely. The possibility of this trade happening? Highly Unlikely.

STARLIN CASTRO — A deal for Castro makes sense. He fills two holes the Dodgers currently have in their lineup. The obvious one is the lack of a right handed bats. The second is Starlin would fill the gap currently at 2nd base. With Castro not bringing a huge price tag with him, the Dodgers would be able to spring a trade for him without breaking the bank. The possibility of a trade for Castro happening? Likely.

NICHOLAS CASTELLANOS — This may not be much of a guess. Dodgers appear to already have interest in Castellanos. However, what is interesting about this trade scenario, is that it could very well push the Dodgers out of the running for Bryce Harper. Dodgers would have to pull the trigger on some more trades involving outfielders to make room for both Castellanos and Harper. At any rate the possibility of a trade with the Tigers for Castellanos? Very Likely.

What do you think? Anyone else that you would like to see in an LA Uniform? Let’s GO DODGERS!
