With the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline approaching on August 3, the Los Angeles Dodgers may consider trading outfielder Ryan Ward. The team, currently leading the league with a 67-39 record, is aiming to bolster its roster for a potential third consecutive World Series title. Ward, who has played 20 games with the Dodgers, is seen as expendable due to the team's strong farm system. He has shown consistency in Triple-A, making him a viable asset for a trade involving major-league talent.
