The Dodgers have made clear theyre looking to make a splash at the top of the trade market. Most of the focus has been on the pitching side general manager Brandon Gomes said just last night the front office is seeking and it seems theyre taking a similar approach to the position players. reports that Los Angeles is seeking a significant offensive upgrade in the outfield. The Dodgers have already been tied to White Sox star Feinsand writes that Rays left fielder is also on L.A.s radar. The Dodgers had been loosely linked to Arozarena over the offseason. The fit is rather straightforward. could handle right field if the Dodgers added an everyday player in left. could play center field regularly while would move into a fourth outfield role. Each of Hernndez, Arozarena and Pages hit from the right side, meaning Heyward should be able to Curtis Lazar Jersey rotate in against right-handed pitching fairly frequently to keep everyone fresh. Arozarena started the season terribly. The former All-Star carried a .158/.257/.312 batting line into June. He has caught fire over the past couple months, raking at a .286/.392/.514 clip through his most recent 166 plate appearances. The dreadful spring is taking a toll on Arozarenas season line, which sits at a pedestrian .211/.313/.395 mark. Considering hed been a well above-average hitter over his first three and a half years in the big leagues, most teams will probably view his April/May performance as an anomaly. Thats also true of the Rays, who are shaping up as one of the most interesting teams to watch over the next week. Tampa Bay isnt out of playoff contention, but theyre sitting at .500 with a 5.5 game deficit in the Wild Card race. A playoff push this year is po sible but unlikely. While the Rays arent going to orchestrate a complete teardown, theyll likely consider offers on a host of productive veterans (e.g. , , , , ). Whether to trade Arozarena is one of the biggest questions facing the front office. The 29-year-old outfielder is playing on an $8.1MM salary, a little le s than $3MM of which is yet to be paid. Hes set for two more arbitration raises before getting to free agency during the 2026-27 offseason. The Dodgers are in the highest tier of luxury tax penalization and face escalating penalties for exceeding the CBT threshold in at least three straight years. Theyd owe a 110% tax on any contracts they absorb. Mikael Diotte Jersey
