The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing depth issues in their starting rotation despite offseason activity. They may explore trades for an outfielder, reliever, and starting pitcher. ESPN's David Schoenfield emphasizes the need for another starter, especially since the recovery timelines for injured players remain uncertain. He mentions right-handed pitcher Seth Lugo as a strong trade candidate. The Dodgers' management expresses reluctance to pursue trades for pitchers, preferring to rely on internal options depending on the injury situation.
"It's hard to believe the Dodgers might need another starting pitcher after all the money they've invested in their rotation, but we still don't know the season long prognosis for Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki, although Glasnow has at least started a rehab assignment in Triple-A."
"The one thing we do know is the Dodgers have a system loaded with hitting prospects that might make them the team most capable of making this trade - if they want to do it."
"President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said the Dodgers have a 'strong desire' not to trade for a starter this summer, but it's contingent on the return timelines of injured arms."
