The Dodgers have parted with top prospects to acquire big-name players at the trade deadlines in the past. They could do the same this season.
Álvarez, the Houston Astros’ star designated hitter, and Cruz, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ promising young shortstop, were flipped as young prospects more than a half-decade ago in deals for Josh Fields and Tony Watson, respectively. Their futures, at that time, were still largely unclear.
Refusing to part with them could hamper the Dodgers’ chances to win this season — even as they hold the second-best World Series odds entering Monday, according to Fangraphs computer models. For most of the past year, the Dodgers have signaled expected interest in Ohtani this offseason. Their front office filled out their roster with mostly expiring contracts, leaving roughly $95 million to come off the books this winter. Players and staff members have privately speculated about the American League MVP front-runner, as well, many hopeful the team checks all the boxes in his potential list of landing spots on the open market.
