Dodgers Trade Proposal Replaces Andy Pages With 25 Home Run Slugger

There’s no telling what the Los Angeles Dodgers might do during the trade deadline. If the Dodgers believe they need more, Andrew Friedman will do everything he can to ensure they are in a good position to win a World Series.

There isn’t exactly an area for the Dodgers to improve. This team is the best in MLB, and their 8-0 start has proven that.

However, there will be problems throughout the season, whether injuries, average play, or anything else that comes with a 162-game Major League Baseball season.

If the Dodgers believe they need something else, finding another outfielder could be their plan.

Andy Pages hasn’t been great, and if he becomes too much of an issue, the Dodgers should consider finding a replacement.

During the season’s first eight games, Pages is hitting .120 in 30 plate appearances.

With a few players likely available, the Dodgers could consider someone like Taylor Ward to solve that issue.

The Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers making a trade isn’t common, but if the Dodgers, with their decent farm system, offer Los Angeles what it is looking for, both sides have a reason to get a deal done.

Justin Mears of Yardbarker believes he’ll be traded and isn’t the only one.

“The 31-year-old still has a couple seasons of team control, but it’s exceedingly unlikely he’s going to be a part of the next good Angels team. Last season Ward set new career highs in home runs (25), RBI (75), doubles (26), and hits (144).

“He has the versatility to play all of the outfield positions as well as both corner infield spots, and could become a very attractive piece for contenders to consider in a few months,” Mears wrote.

In 585 at-bats a season ago, Ward impressed, posting a .246 average and 25 home runs. He isn’t a perfect player, but the 31-year-old would be an upgrade to what the Dodgers are currently working with.

He owns a career 109 OPS+, which is well above the average.
