Slumping former NY Mets player is a candidate to be replaced by another familiar name

As the Major League Baseball trade deadline approaches, the Los Angeles Dodgers, a team always looking to bolster its roster for a deep postseason run, are reportedly exploring options to upgrade their outfield. While their primary focus remains on acquiring a high-leverage relief pitcher, recent reports indicate a keen interest in a former New York Mets outfielder.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Harrison Bader, a familiar face to National League East fans from his time with the New York Mets, has emerged as a potential target. His strong overall contributions this season have caught the attention of the Dodgers' front office, who are seemingly willing to look past their stated preference for a left-handed hitting outfielder to secure his services.
