In the span of a week, the Dodgers parted ways with two longtime veterans by releasing Chris Taylor and designating Austin Barnes for assignment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dodgersnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/USATSI_26048384.jpg\" alt=\"Dodgers \u2018Closely Monitoring\u2019 $70 Million All-Star Infielder for Potential  Trade Deadline Move\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The shocking moves essentially confirm president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes will not sit idly by as the deadline nears. Fans should expect the Dodgers to do whatever it takes to improve the roster, and MLB insider Bob Nightengale suggests it could potentially come in the form of an infielder from a National League West team.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSeveral teams, including the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers, are closely monitoring Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon in case he\u2019s traded this summer,\u201d Nightengale writes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>McMahon has played at third base every game this season, hitting .201 with six home runs, 11 runs batted in and an OPS of .691.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old ranks positively in Outs Above Average, so his defense is likely what interested teams are looking at the most.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, McMahon earned his first All-Star selection and slashed .242\/.325\/.397 with 20 home runs, 65 RBIs and an OPS of .722.<\/p>\n<p>This wouldn\u2019t be the first time the Dodgers have been linked to a third baseman. In the offseason, the defending champions were connected to 10-time Gold Glove winner Nolan Arenado, who made it known L.A. was his preferred trade destination.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Dodgers never publicly expressed interest in Arenado and penciled in Max Muncy as their starting third baseman.<\/p>\n<p>Just a few months later, the Dodgers are now being linked to McMahon.<\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Dodgers have made it abundantly clear that winning is the top priority for the 2025 season.
