The Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros wouldn’t appear to be trade partners on the surface given the ‘colorful’ histories between both franchises.
The last notable deal between the two was clearly won by the Astros. The Dodgers acquired reliever Josh Fields for an unheralded outfielder named Yordan Alvarez. Since then, Alvarez has made three All-Star appearances and is one of the better slugging outfielders in the sport.
Fields pitched decently in parts of three seasons, though he was clearly nowhere near as impactful as Alvarez.

As we fast-forward a decade, the two entities could reengage on another deal — though this time with an outfielder heading to LA, and presumably pitching going to Houston.
