Dodgers' Max Muncy Remains Possible DFA Candidate as Trade Deadline Looms
The Los Angeles Dodgers have shown this season they are ruthless when it comes to doing what is best for the organization. Longtime Dodgers Chris Taylor and Austin Barnes were released last month after multi-year spells in Los Angeles. The Dodgers cited doing what was best for the team as the rationale for moving on. If Los Angeles holds true to its word, third baseman Max Muncy may be the next to go as the trade deadline nears. While he had a strong game Wednesday night, it's been a rough season overall. "No one has needed more resilience this season than Muncy, who suffered through a woeful opening month on both sides of the ball and was beginning to feel the ire of a ruthlessly demanding fan base," wrote Jack Martin for the Los Angeles Times. Muncy got off to a slow start this season, hitting just .194 at the end of April and barely bumping it above the Mendoza line at the end of May by hitting .220. His average currently sits at .226, but he's struggling to be consistently produce for the Dodgers. Even though his bat is a step above what it was at the beginning of the season, his defense is still lackluster. "He's had to go through some adversities, and it certainly hasn't been linear for him, whether it be the defense or the droughts offensively and kind of hearing noise from the outside," Roberts told reporters. "But he's built a nice hard shell in the sense of, just really trying to put his head down and keep the blinders on and trying to focus on whatever situation is at hand at the moment." As much as putting your head down and focusing on the moment is good for Muncy, the Dodgers can't continue to trot him out to third base every day and just wait for him to improve. There's a reason Los Angeles is reportedly keeping an eye on Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon. The Dodgers know an upgrade is necessary to push for back-to-back World Series titles. Time is ticking for Muncy to turn it around, and it seems as if the end of July is his deadline as well as the trade deadline.

Former Big Leaguer Says MLB 'Protected' Shohei Ohtani in Betting Scandal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Four months after Ippei Mizuhara was sentenced to nearly five years in prison for stealing from Shohei Ohtani to pay for gambling losses, the saga comes to life once again. Former three-time All-Star and 2005 American League Manager of the Year Ozzie Guillen is speaking out about the situation, and he believes Ohtani was the one secretly gambling. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 05: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers at bat against the New York Mets in the first inning at Dodger Stadium on June 05, 2025 in Los Angeles,... LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 05: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers at bat against the New York Mets in the first inning at Dodger Stadium on June 05, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. More"Everyone knows that Shohei Ohtani took a chance (by gambling) and they (Major League Baseball) protected him," Guillen told Fernando Ballesteros of Pure Baseball in Puerto Rico. Mizuhara was sentenced to 57 months in prison for stealing from Ohtani back in February just before the season started. The Dodgers have stood by Ohtani's side as prosecutors have stated multiple times Ohtani was the victim in this situation. However, many baseball fans on social media, particularly fans of rival teams, believe what Guillen is saying to be true. There is still some belief in the baseball world that Mizuhara took one for the team to prevent Ohtani from being banned. Ohtani has since moved on from the situation as he continues to produce a strong season at the plate for the Dodgers with a slash line of .295/.389/.648. He's totaled 23 home runs and 39 RBI as the designated hitter this season. Guillen has always been known by baseball fans for speaking his mind, so this statement shouldn't come as a surprise. As of now, though, there's zero evidence to support his claim. It could be out of spite, jealousy or a combination of both.
