Blake Snell injury should cause Dodgers to trade for this player after latest MLB trade deadline rumor originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to do what's needed at the trade deadline, and there's nothing more to say about that.
No matter if that means they're going to add a starter, a veteran hitter, or bullpen pieces, the Dodgers are going to improve on both sides of the baseball, and that's just what Andrew Friedman does.
Looking ahead, there could be some intriguing names available for the Dodgers to pursue on the mound. When healthy, this is certainly the best rotation in baseball, but the Dodgers haven't had too much luck on that front.
Adding a workhorse would definitely be a step in the right direction, but taking a chance on a guy who also hasn't thrown a ton wouldn't be the worst idea. One of those guys is left-hander Kris Bubic, who has just 522.0 innings under his belt.
Still, the 28-year-old has been lights out in that span, posting a 2.55 ERA in 2025 and earning his first All-Star nod.
Bleacher Report recently named him a trade candidate, and he'd be perfect in Los Angeles.
“It's tough to say which direction the Royals will go. They're three games below .500 with a minus-13 run differential, but they are right there in an American League that has been a hot mess. If they end up selling, though, Bubic is going to be quite the coveted name on the trade block. He has a 2.74 ERA in nearly 200 innings pitched since the beginning of 2024, and his salary is low enough that any team with designs of making the postseason could afford him for a couple of months,” Kerry Miller of BR wrote.
If I'm the Dodgers, I'd personally be a bit worried about guys like Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow staying healthy in October.
As we've seen throughout a lot of their careers, there's a chance that both of them are going to deal with things that just randomly pop up and the Dodgers have to deal with that. Snell is also undergoing surgery.
Bubic would potentially change that, as he has the possibility of being an ace when everything is clicking.
