The Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves in a unique spot heading into the trade deadline. On one hand, their record shows that they are the best team in the National League, a squad with three former MVPs, five 2025 All-Stars, and enough depth to suffer through a seven-game losing streak in July and still roll into the All-Star break as the team to beat on their side of the bracket. Of the Dodgers’ eight regular starters in the field, their clear weak link has to be Michael Conforto, the former San Francisco Giants left fielder who was signed as a one-year contract to “upgrade” the left field spot but has struggled mightily to find his swing a few hours down the PCH. Turning attention to the mound, the Dodgers entered the year with so much pitching that some fans thought they could run a six-man rotation, but that unit has been battered with injuries like few others could imagine, with Roki Sasaki and Blake Snell currently on IL, Tyler Glasnow just coming off of the list, and other pitchers like Dustin Maye struggling to take on the top of an order roughly once a week.
