The Los Angeles Dodgers are targeting Rico Garcia from the Baltimore Orioles as a potential trade option, according to Bleacher Report. With Edwin Díaz's return uncertain, the Dodgers aim to bolster their bullpen before the August 3 trade deadline. Garcia, a six-year veteran, has posted a 1.95 ERA in 35 appearances this season. While the Dodgers' bullpen has performed well, trading for Garcia could provide needed depth. His club control may make him a feasible acquisition without requiring a top prospect from Los Angeles' No. 1-ranked farm system.

- •Garcia has a 1.95 ERA for Orioles this year.
- •Edwin Díaz's return date is unclear.
- •Trade deadline is August 3.
- •Garcia's control keeps trade costs manageable.
