The Los Angeles Dodgers are firing up trade talks with the Rays with a renewed focus on starting pitching, and with Rays ace Chris Archer unlikely to be dealt, they've turned to the club's number two: Jake Odorizzi.

The Dodgers looked to Hisashi Iwakuma to help fill the Zack Greinke void, but with a failed physical for the former Mariners starter, their rotation has a glaring hole.
It's not clear whether there's anything to these rumors, and both franchises tend to work quietly (as Andrew Friedman did when he was with the Rays), but the fit is logical, and Odorizzi is a valuable pitcher.
