"Andrew Friedman and company won't just trade for the sake of trading - though in this instance with the market somewhat thin in the outfield spot specifically, there's a school of thought that the front office will dip into its pool of talented prospects/young players to better add depth to what's considered the main weakness from a position player standpoint. Considering the depth of the farm system, one would think a couple of players from the minor leagues would form the centerpiece of a possible blockbuster trade."
"He polled a number of front office executives around the league, and one anonymously gave the opinion that they believe Tyler Glasnow could be available via trade as the Dodgers look to fill over holes on their roster. "Sleeper name: Tyler Glasnow," said one voter. "Feels like the Dodgers can go to [Shohei] Ohtani, [Yoshinobu] Yamamoto, [Blake] Snell, [Roki] Sasaki, [Emmet] Sheehan and others and use Glasnow on the trade market to cover up holes.""
"Growing up a Dodgers fan in nearby Santa Clarita, he's relished the chance to pitch for his hometown team. Glasnow stayed healthy enough to be a massive impact arm for the team in the postseason, pitching a gem versus the Philadelphia Phillies and throwing in three different games during the World Series triumph over the Toronto Blue Jays."
The Dodgers pursue offseason moves to make the roster as strong as possible and typically avoid trading merely for activity. The outfield market looks thin, prompting consideration of using prospects or young players to add depth at a primary positional weakness. The farm system depth suggests minor-league players could anchor a major trade, yet one anonymous executive named veteran Tyler Glasnow as a potential trade candidate to help fill holes. Glasnow delivered significant postseason value for Los Angeles, enjoying pitching for his hometown and serving as a key arm during the World Series run.
