Dodgers Trade Prediction Lands Orioles Cedric Mullins
The Los Angeles Dodgers, despite having numerous injuries on the pitching side, still have a loaded roster with most of the necessary spots filled. Los Angeles is 30-19 and sit atop the National League West. However, a team like the Dodgers is always looking to improve wherever there are potential weaknesses. Advertisement Even though they have a decimated pitching staff, they may not look to the trade market to acquire anyone because of the high-quality arms that will eventually return. Those players include Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow, and, hopefully, Shohei Ohtani. In a recent piece by Bleacher Report, writer Kerry Miller named a player for each team likely to be traded by the deadline. For the Dodgers, he named pitching prospect Nick Frasso, who is currently 26 years old, and playing for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He is the 12th-ranked prospect in the Dodgers' system. In the same article, Miller names Cedric Mullins of the struggling Baltimore Orioles as likely to be traded before August. May 4, 2025; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Orioles center fielder Cedric Mullins (31) watches his home run against the Kansas City Royals during the fifth inning at Oriole Park at Camden Fisher-Imagn Images A potential trade for the Dodgers could be sending away Frasso and outfielder James Outman for Cedric Mullins. Advertisement The Dodgers have Andy Pages patrolling center field as of now, but with Michael Conforto really underperforming at the plate, it might be time for a change in left field, where Mullins or Pages can play. Mullins has 10 home runs on the season, and with the Orioles in free fall, now is the best time to sell high on him. As for Outman with the Dodgers, his time seems to be up after being given a plethora of chances, and continuously either striking out or not giving any bit of offensive production. As the deadline looms, look for the Dodgers to move on from Frasso and for Outman to go with him. Related: Dodgers' Broadcaster Joe Davis Wins Exclusive Emmy Award

Dodgers OF Teoscar Hernandez activated from injured list
May 20 - Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was activated from the injured list on Monday as Los Angeles prepared to open a three-game home series against Arizona. Hernandez was in the Dodgers' lineup Monday night, batting fifth and manning right field. Outfielder James Outman was sent back to Triple-A Oklahoma City to make room for Hernandez on the roster. Hernandez was off to a hot start, hitting .315 with nine home runs and a National League-best 34 RBIs through his first 33 games played. But he suffered a left groin strain in the Dodgers' May 5 game at Miami and was placed on the 10-day IL a day later. Los Angeles was 5-7 during Hernandez's absence and just suffered a three-game sweep at the hands of the cross-town rival Los Angeles Angels. At 29-18, the Dodgers' NL West lead is only one game over both San Diego and San Francisco. After earning All-Star honors and helping the Dodgers win the 2024 World Series, Hernandez became a free agent. But he re-signed with the club for three years at a total of $66 million. The Dodgers' offense should be boosted with the return of Hernandez, but pitching is a concern with starters Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Roki Sasaki all on the injured list. Outman was hitting only .125 with a pair of home runs and four RBIs while filling in for the Dodgers' star. --Field Level Media

Dodgers Held Trade Talks With White Sox for Luis Robert Jr: Report
Between Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman, the Los Angeles Dodgers' starting lineup is loaded with talent. However, general manager Brandon Gomes seems interested in bringing in additional MLB All-Star players. Advertisement According to a report from USA Today's Bob Nightengale on Sunday, the Dodgers and Chicago White Sox held trade discussions about Chicago's center fielder, Luis Robert Jr. Nightengale did not mention whether the talks between the two clubs occurred during the offseason or were recent. He noted that, for now, the two teams' discussion has stopped and that the deal would have sent Dodgers outfielder James Outman and a "front-line prospect" to the White Sox. Robert Jr. is two years removed from earning his first All-Star selection and winning the Silver Slugger at center field in the American League. In 2023, he hit a career-high 38 home runs and posted a 130 OPS+. Advertisement A right hip flexor strain in April 2024 limited Robert Jr. to 100 games last season, and he slashed a poor .224/.278/.379 with a .657 OPS. Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. (88) watches his two-run home run during the sixth inning against the Boston Red Sox at Rate Gorski-Imagn Images Currently, the Dodgers have Andy Pages receiving most of the reps in center field, but the 24-year-old is off to a slow start in 2025, hitting .149 with 19 strikeouts in 55 plate appearances. The White Sox are clearly in a rebuilding phase. In recent seasons, they have dealt their former stars to acquire prospects and strengthen the farm system. In March 2024, Chicago traded starting pitcher Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres. In December, they agreed to a trade with the Boston Red Sox, sending lefty Garrett Crochet to Boston in exchange for four prospects, including catcher Kyle Teel, rated No. 29 on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list. Advertisement Outman began the year at Triple-A Oklahoma City after displaying above-average power at the MLB level in 2023, hitting 23 home runs as a rookie. A jam-packed Dodgers outfield of Teoscar Hernandez, Tommy Edman, Pages, and Michael Conforto left little wiggle room for Los Angeles to carry Outman on the active roster to start the season. There's still a possibility that Robert Jr. may be traded during the year, but the 27-year-old, who was batting .163 with a .250 OBP after Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Red Sox, remains with the White Sox for the time being.
