2. A potential trade for a second baseman

The Los Angeles Dodgers are no strangers to making deals for second basemen and that is why the team has a six-year streak of having different second basemen start on the Opening Day lineup. If the front office really wanted to make a move, I have no doubt that a move would be made.

Personally, my favorite move would be to add former Dodger, Dee Gordon, to the mix. I detailed what a trade for Gordon could look like here.

When it comes down to it, Gordon would be the perfect piece to compliment this offense. He is a true leadoff guy that gets a ton of base hits and has what the Dodgers lack: speed. Imagine having Dee Gordon leading off the game, who can get to second with a single and stolen base, with Corey Seager and Justin Turner behind him.

Single, steal and even a groundball from Seager would move Gordon to third for Turner to cash him in. It is the perfect equation for a lot of runs.

Another guy that also makes sense for the Dodgers would be Scooter Gennett. Gennett is one of the best hitting second basemen in the game and hit .310 with 23 home runs and 92 RBIs last season. With Gennett’s contract up after the season, it would make sense for the Reds to get something towards the future out of dealing him.
