Dodgers may trade starting pitcher before upcoming trade deadline

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considering trading a starting pitcher ahead of the MLB trade deadline next week. Insider Fabian Ardaya reported that this could mark the fourth consecutive year the team parts ways with a pitcher from their roster. The decision hinges on the health of several key players, including Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow, and Blake Snell, all of whom have dealt with injuries this season. With the playoff race tightening and injuries affecting their starting pitching depth, the Dodgers may also explore acquiring another catcher in light of Will Smith’s ongoing neck injury.
