Dodgers Rumors: Players that could be dealt for an Indians pitcher
By Jason Reed
1. Joc Pederson
In Rosenthal’s tweet, the Dodgers outfielders named as the potential pot that the Cleveland Indians would grab from. Thus, you are going to see three different outfielders on this list that are all potential trade chips for different reasons.
The first of which is Joc Pederson, who would be a great power-hitting bat to bring into an American League lineup. Pederson showed great leaps in his approach at the plate in 2018 and could become an everyday player for the Indians in 2019.
This would be a logical trade target for Cleveland as it adds to the current roster while also providing room to grow with Pederson’s age. He certainly would not be the center point of the deal but could be an added benefit that helps the Dodgers make the deal happen.
I am one of the biggest Joc Pederson fans you will ever meet but I am ok with trading away Pederson. The Dodgers have a crowded outfield and might even be adding a left-handed power bat in Bryce Harper.
