After such a dominant offseason, there is really no telling the true extent that the Los Angeles Dodgers will go to in terms of improving their roster.

Acquiring Cy Young award-winning pitchers, international phenoms, demonstrated veterans, and parting ways with longtime players made it clear that L.A. is not content at the top of the baseball world, and there are more championships to be won.

When there are reports that a star wants out of their current situation, regardless of contract size or position, all eyes turn to the Dodgers.

MLB insider Jeff Passan reported earlier this month that Sandy Alcantara is raising questions regarding his availability at the trade deadline with the rebuilding Miami Marlins.

A rebuilding team with a Cy Young award winner is practically calling for an aggressive contender to at least make an offer.

Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer has addressed trade rumors all offseason long, but recently linked the Dodgers to the ace.

“Another ace is the last thing the Dodgers need…for now. When you remember how hard they were hit by injuries last year, their rotation is perhaps vulnerable until proved otherwise.”

Alcantara is owed $17.3 million in 2025 and 2026, plus a $21 million club option for 2027.

As L.A. proves time and time again, what may be a financial issue for one ball club is nothing to them.

If 2024 showed the Dodgers anything, it’s that a roster can never have too much depth.

Gauging the difficulty of last season’s pitching woes is unfair given the outcome at the end of October, but the kind of pieces L.A. would have to give up to the rebuilding Marlins begs the question if the likely blockbuster package would be worth it.

As the proven leaders of the baseball world, the target on the Dodgers’ back will only grow, but if the right package is there for a talent like Alcantara, there’s more reasons to pull the trigger than to make any changes.
