The Los Angeles Dodgers have been busy in the offseason, but there are rumors that they are looking to make a blockbuster trade to sign a 5-star player ¹. Here are some details of the rumors:
– *Juan Soto*: The Dodgers have been linked to Juan Soto, the 23-year-old left-handed slugger from the Washington Nationals. The Nationals are asking for a king’s ransom for their star player, which would require the Dodgers to give up their top five to six prospects. On top of that, any team trying to acquire Soto may need to also take on the contract of LHP Patrick Corbin, who is owed almost $60 million over the next two years ¹.
– *Corbin Burnes*: The Dodgers are also rumored to be interested in Corbin Burnes, the former Cy Young winner and three-time All-Star pitcher from the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers would need to give up prospects Michael Busch and Emmet Sheehan, as well as minor league catcher Hunter Feduccia, to acquire Burnes ².
– *Bo Bichette*: Another rumor suggests that the Dodgers are looking to trade for Bo Bichette, the two-time All-Star shortstop from the Toronto Blue Jays. Bichette is struggling this season, but he has been an average defender and has another year of team control before entering free agency in 2026 ³.
– *Mookie Betts*: There were rumors that the Dodgers were looking to trade Mookie Betts, but it appears that they are looking to keep him and move him back to second base. This would allow them to bring in a new shortstop, potentially someone like Bo Bichette ³.
– *Blockbuster trade delayed*: There was a rumor of a blockbuster trade involving the Dodgers, Red Sox, Twins, and Angels, but it appears to be delayed due to medical records. The trade would have sent Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers, but it’s unclear if it will still happen ⁴.
