The Dodgers have made clear their desire to upgrade the starting rotation this winter, and they plan to be aggressive in doing so. The team will be looking to add both in free agency and on the trade market, giving them a much better pitching staff for next season.
One of the more interesting names available on the trade market is starter Corbin Burnes from the Milwaukee Brewers. He has been linked to the Dodgers for a while now, and this is possibly the offseason that a deal comes to fruition.
LA has also been talked about with Brewers shortstop Willy Adames, and some believe they could target both this offseason.
MLB insider Mark Feinsand of MLB.com is reporting that one MLB executive believes the Dodgers could make a play at both Burnes and Adames in a package deal.
LA would hit two birds with one stone if they made this deal, getting themselves a bonafide ace-level pitcher and a shortstop. With the Brewers seemingly open for business this offseason, the Dodgers should look to take advantage.
Burnes is the best pitcher available on the trade market, and he would instantly serve the Dodgers as their No. 1 starter. He has electric stuff on the mound and would bolster this rotation for next season.
