The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Eric Lauer from the Toronto Blue Jays in May. Lauer has been effective, contributing to an 8-0 record in games he pitches, with a 3.35 ERA this season. However, with Blake Snell returning from injury and other pitching options available, the Dodgers may explore trading Lauer for another player, such as Tarik Skubal. Lauer's potential as a trade asset is weighed against his value as reliable rotation depth, especially given the injury histories of other pitchers on the roster.
