Less than 24 hours before the MLB trade deadline, the Dodgers were still believed to have a shot at adding Juan Soto. With Soto off the board, the Dodgers still have several other options before Tuesday’s 3 p.m. PDT deadline.
Will the Dodgers pull off a blockbuster trade for Nationals star Juan Soto or bolster their pitching staff with Pablo López before the MLB trade deadline?
They could target a pitcher, with Pablo López of the Miami Marlins appearing to be one of their top targets. According to multiple people with knowledge of the situation, the two teams have had discussions about the 26-year-old right-hander, who has a 3.41 ERA in 21 starts this year and is under team control for two more seasons after this year.
The Dodgers could look to add another bat, too, with everyone from Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs, J.D. Martinez of the Boston Red Sox and even Joey Gallo of the New York Yankees all potentially available in trades.Or, there is the possibility they remain relatively quiet, content with the construction of a roster that entered deadline day with the best winning percentage in baseball and a 12-game lead over the Padres in the NL West.
Either way, the fact the Dodgers have seemingly missed out on Soto will sting for much of a fan base that had dreamed about adding the young slugger to an already stacked lineup.Instead, Soto is now set to return to Los Angeles again this weekend — this time wearing the uniform of one of the Dodgers’ biggest rivals.
