Dodgers Eyeing All-Star Infield Trade
27 May
Summary
- Dodgers aim for historic third consecutive World Series victory.
- Shortstop Mookie Betts is limited due to a right oblique strain.
- Trade targets include CJ Abrams or Ketel Marte for infield.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are on a quest to become only the third franchise in Major League Baseball history to secure three consecutive World Series championships. A key area for improvement is their middle infield performance.
Shortstop Mookie Betts has been hampered by a right oblique strain, significantly limiting his season to just 20 games as of May 27, 2026. Even with Betts potentially improving, the team may still require an upgrade over current options like Hyeseong Kim, Alex Freeland, and Miguel Rojas.
Speculation suggests the Dodgers might pursue a trade for an All-Star infielder from within the National League. Options like CJ Abrams, who leads the majors with 46 RBIs and 12 home runs, or Ketel Marte, a vital player in the 2023 World Series, are being considered. Acquiring such talent would further solidify the Dodgers' potent lineup and enhance their championship aspirations.
