Long before the rumors began circulating about the Dodgers being interested in acquiring players like Anthony Rendon, Josh Donaldson and Kris Bryant, there were plenty of fans discussing what the team believed its long-term solution at third base to be, especially when considering that 2020 is the final year of veteran Justin Turner‘s contract.
For years, pundits have felt that Corey Seager would eventually make the transition to the hot corner, despite Los Angeles management still showing no signs of any type of move happening. Yet, because of the club’s continued interest in All-Star shortstop Francisco Lindor, chatter was that Seager would either be included in the deal back to Cleveland or slide over to third, potentially creating perhaps one of the most formidable infield in the National League.
