Dodgers Could Trade Andy Pages, Miguel Vargas, James Outman at Deadline

With the trade deadline less than one week away, trade decisions have to start being finalized.

A prominent issue for the Dodgers this season has been their starting rotation. Many of Los Angeles’ key starting pitchers have gone down with injuries throughout the season. Clayton Kershaw, Tyler Glasnow, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Walker Buehler have been on the injured list. Kershaw and Glasnow are returning this week, reviving a rotation relying on just four pitchers.

The Dodgers are going to need more pitching ammunition if they want to be a World Series championship contender. In an interview with Dodgers Nation’s Doug McKain, MLB insider Jon Morosi gave insight into the Dodgers’ trade deadline needs.

“It’s clearly their biggest need,” Morosi said on starting pitching, “and not their only need because I think that adding in maybe one more arm to the bullpen will be a priority. I also think about maybe adding some depth to the lineup, especially if the Dodgers have to trade out some younger Major League position players.”

Morosi had suggestions for potential trade targets for the Dodgers to seek. Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal and Chicago White Sox ace Garrett Crochet were two top options. Morosi proposed three outfielders that Los Angeles may reluctantly decide to exchange.

“And I’m sure they don’t want to, but we should mention the possibility that someone like [Andy] Pages, or [Miguel] Vargas, or [James] Outman could be part of the package that would bring back some pitching,” Morosi said to McKain.

The Dodgers will have to decide the fate of this trio by Tuesday.
