Dodgers insider and SportsNet LA host David Vassegh got Dodgers fans dreaming when he introduced the idea of a trade that would bring Byron Buxton to LA. It was in conjunction with a conversation about how long Michael Conforto has before the Dodgers give him the boot (and the answer is the trade deadline), and Buxton having the most productive and healthiest season of his career this year.
The Twins, meanwhile, are 11.5 games behind the Tigers in the AL Central and are approaching an ownership change. Vassegh characterized them as "going nowhere," and that doesn't seem to be an unfair assessment.
