The Los Angeles Dodgers will never shy away from making a major move when they believe it can strengthen their chances of winning another championship, looking to go back-to-back-to-back.
That’s why many seem to think they can still go out and make a trade.
In a recent proposal, Ryan Shea of Sports Illustrated suggested a blockbuster trade that would send Sandy Alcantara from the Miami Marlins to Los Angeles.

Marlins Acquire: Zyhir Hope, Eduardo Quintero, Mike Sirota, Alex Freeland
“The Dodgers would pursue Sandy Alcántara because he provides an immediate, high-impact upgrade to their rotation. As a frontline starter under team control through 2027, Alcántara offers playoff-ready performance at a cost-controlled rate, which is extremely valuable for a team aiming for a deep postseason run.
“He strengthens the rotation behind or alongside their existing aces, giving the Dodgers more flexibility in managing innings and matchups in high-leverage playoff situations,” he wrote.
Alcantara has dealt with injuries in recent years, but threw in 31 games a season ago. He posted an ERA of 5.36, the worst of his career.
However, this is exactly the type of move the Dodgers are known for making. While the price would be a bit much, Los Angeles has one of the best farm systems in the league and could afford to move multiple prospects for a proven ace.
Alcantara has also shown that he can be the best starter in baseball on any given day.
