The Los Angeles Dodgers, who currently hold the best record in MLB, face decisions ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. Manager Dave Roberts and president Andrew Friedman are weighing potential moves, including trading Alex Call, who has been deemed 'redundant' as key players return from injury. With Tommy Edman and Teoscar Hernandez back in the mix, along with Kiké Hernandez's imminent return, Call's role is in jeopardy. The Dodgers are also pursuing Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal, indicating they may relocate depth pieces like Call to acquire new talent. Call has appeared in 98 games for the Dodgers, contributing significantly since his acquisition from the Washington Nationals.
