Despite a beat-up staff dealing with several injuries, especially to starters like\u00a0Blake Snell,\u00a0Tyler Glasnow,\u00a0and\u00a0Roki Sasaki,\u00a0Los Angeles expects\u00a0to get all of those arms back. However, as shown in the past, the Dodgers are consistently an aggressive team in terms of trades, always looking to bolster their roster to the best of their ability.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers took a slight gamble this offseason when they signed outfielder\u00a0Michael Conforto\u00a0to a one-year, $17 million contract. The mainstay left fielder for Los Angeles has struggled throughout the season and may need to be replaced to clear up space in the outfield for a more productive hitter.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles should consider making a move with the\u00a0Texas Rangers\u00a0for\u00a0Adolis Garcia.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Should the Dodgers Trade for Garcia?<\/h2>\n<p>This proposal is interesting because it\u2019s unclear if the Texas Rangers will be sellers, and if so, what they will sell off. However, Texas is currently struggling, with a record of 31-35, and in fourth place in the American League West. Each day that goes by and brings us closer to the deadline, there is a more likely chance they will move off some parts.<\/p>\n<p>Here is writer\u00a0Dylan Sanders\u2019 reasoning behind a trade for Garcia:<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ugcemw61l\">\u201cThe Texas Rangers are teetering between a possible playoff team and outright disappointment, but each day seems to be drawing closer to a sell-off at the coming MLB trade deadline. If the Rangers do end up selling, Adolis Garcia is someone that should be moved if they can get at least a prospect of note in return. A potential deal that would be worth doing would be with the Los Angeles Dodgers. They need in the outfield and a surprisingly solid farm system for how loaded their Major League roster is. In a trade involving Garcia, Texas should target LHP prospect Jakob Wright. That is a top-30 prospect that was a fourth-round pick last year and is young, but has potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 data-mm-id=\"_ugcemw61l\">Is Garcia Worth It To Trade For?<\/h2>\n<p>Sanders makes a great point that the Los Angeles Dodgers have a need in the outfield, and even though Garcia is scuffling a little bit, he is a way more proven player than Conforto and has a better chance of turning his season around. Conforto is hitting just .170 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in 180 at-bats. The experiment is over, as his production is just so minuscule.<\/p>\n<p>As for Adolis Garcia,\u00a0he made a bold claim this season that he would hit 50 home runs. He likely won\u2019t reach that mark, and is hitting .215 on the season with seven home runs, but is a two-time All-Star who has shown the ability to hit more than 25 home runs consistently. The trade proposal suggests targeting Jakob Wright, a lefty prospect, but another prospect name that would more incline the Texas Rangers to make this deal is the fifth-ranked southpaw prospect in the Dodgers organization,\u00a0Jackson Ferris.\u00a0Ferris has seen a fair amount of success in the Dodgers\u2019 farm system and could be moved up to Triple-A Oklahoma City shortly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty While the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0have a pretty complete team, they may not use MLB\u2019s trade deadline to acquire anyone on the pitching front.
