All indications point to the Los Angeles Dodgers not only having interest in some of the top players in free agency but those who may be available via trade as well. Thus far L.A. has been connected to the likes of Gerrit Cole, Josh Donaldson, Francisco Lindor, Anthony Rendon and Stephen Strasburg, among others.
Although Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has a history of shying away from the type of long-term contract Cole and Strasburg should receive, pitchers of their caliber have not often become free agents at this stage in their respective careers.
