The Los Angeles Dodgers don't need another arm, but Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller pitched a mock trade that would get the baseball world talking.
Los Angeles isn't at full strength right now from a pitching standpoint and could actually use a starter. In response, Miller pitched a mock trade that would send Minnesota Twins star Joe Ryan to the Dodgers for prospects.
"The Trade: Minnesota Twins send RHP Joe Ryan to the Los Angeles Dodgers for OF Zyhir Hope, RHP River Ryan and OF Kendall George," Miller wrote. "How Realistic Are We Talking? Since starting out 11-7 and leading the AL Central a few weeks into the season, the Twins have gone 19-30 while careening toward another deadline fire sale.
"After losing Pablo López for the season less than a week into spring training, this was always the likeliest outcome for this team. But now it's time to start seriously tinkering with Ryan's possible landing spots with one year of arbitration eligibility remaining. The Dodgers weren't supposed to need a starting pitcher with their stockpile of arms."
The Dodgers should already be considered the favorite to win the World Series this season. If the club could somehow land a hurler like Ryan, it would be over. At that point, you could just pack it up and wait for the 2027 season.
