In ESPN’s latest projection, the Dodgers match up well with a popular trade target often linked to them last winter.
The 2024 trade deadline is July 20, and the Los Angeles Dodgers will likely be big players over the next month. The Dodgers are likely to make a big move to bolster their already deadly lineup.
Call it unfair, call it whatever you want, but the Dodgers' ability to add to their already stacked roster could make the difference in whether or not they win another title this decade. It won't be easy and may cost a ton, especially when it comes to Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena.considers a hypothetical trade for Arozarena a perfect fit for the Dodgers at the deadline:
There's an argument to be made that the Dodgers go full Death Star: Get Bichette from Toronto to play shortstop, move Mookie Betts back to right field upon his return from a broken hand, slide Teoscar Hernandez to left and mash. Or they could take the risk on Arozarena — in the midst of the worst season of his career — and figure joining a lineup with Betts, Hernandez, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Will Smith would help him find his mojo.
However, he's looked like his old self in the last seven games, slashing .320/.419/.560, with eight hits, one home run, five RBIs, and two runs in 25 at-bats. If you want to take it back further, he has a .256 batting average and a .400 slugging percentage in his last 30 games and 90 at-bats. Arozarena is doing his job, and if he lands in Los Angeles, the Dodgers might have enough depth in their lineup and outfield to get the job done in October.
