3) Los Angeles Dodgers
Even though it sounds crazy, it would actually make sense if Trout crossed over to the other side of the freeway series.
The Dodgers should only go for Trout if they don’t at least make it to the World Series this year. The Dodgers have a tremendous team, but they just can never get over that playoff hump. By adding Trout, they would pretty much solidify themselves as the NL champion. It’s baseball and it’s hard to stay consistent. But with Trout being a guarantee to hit 30 homers and 100 RBI, the Dodgers would be a consistent team.
Right now, the Dodgers have Joc Pederson in center field. He could be a part of the trade. The Angels would also most likely be able to pick one other young, talented big leaguer.
With that, the Angels would probably get to pick another one or two top prospects. The Dodgers are in the top 15 of farm systems, so the Angels would just have to get it right with who they pick out of there.
Trout would lead the Dodgers offense to become baseball’s best and the Angels’ future would vastly improve with whoever they got to pick from the Dodgers.
And along with that, it would really ignite the rivalry between the Angels and Dodgers. Who doesn’t love that?
