The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the middle of numerous trade talks and free agency rumors so here’s their wish list this Christmas.

The Los Angeles Dodgers missed out on Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg, and Anthony Rendon (to the team in Anaheim). So you could say they don’t want to strike out anymore, so without further ado let’s get to their wish list.

Trade for Francisco Lindor and/or Mike Clevinger

This is the biggest question of the Dodgers offseason–Will they get Lindor? There have been so many rumors flying around about the aggressiveness of the Dodgers when it comes to getting Lindor, but the Indians have reportedly asked teams for their final offers before the weekend.

So, all Dodgers fans can do is wait to see if the Dodgers offered enough. I would think that a Lindor deal does not get done based on the certainty the Indians front office has had in interviews over the last couple of weeks.

But if the Dodgers were to get Lindor, they would be the overwhelming favorites in the National League. Their infield would consist of Justin Turner, Lindor, Max Muncy, and either Corey Seager or Gavin Lux. I say that because I just don’t envision the Dodgers being able to get Lindor without sending Cleveland either Seager or prized infielder Gavin Lux.

Mike Clevinger, the Indians ace, is another very intriguing trade possibility for Los Angeles. He is one of the most underrated starters in the game, as he has a freakishly dominant fastball and slider combination.

He recorded a 2.71 ERA in 2019 with nearly 170 strikeouts in 126 innings pitched.

It would be easy to say that Los Angeles Dodgers fans would be frustrated if their club wasn’t able to land one of the two Indians stars, especially after the rumor-filled offseason they have had to endure.
