Dodgers manager Roberts suggests selling at trade deadline amid rumors
Summary

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts raised eyebrows with a statement regarding the team's plans for the upcoming trade deadline. While discussing potential trades, Roberts suggested that the Dodgers might be more inclined to sell than to buy, despite interest in Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal. The team has historically acquired lower-profile players to enhance their roster systematically. As they evaluate their options, starters Eric Lauer and Alex Call are potential trade candidates, though their current roster depth may impact decisions. The Dodgers' trade strategy will likely unfold as the deadline approaches.
