Los Angeles Dodgers: Pros and cons of potential Francisco Lindor trade

Pro: Lindor is more reliable health-wise than Seager

A big part of the previous argument is that Seager is coming off of an injury and will be much better when he is back in the swing of things and has his timing down. We have all seen how good Seager can be and he has literally been an MVP finalist.

The flip side of that argument is the fact that the injuries happened in the first place and that it might be a trend. Seager dealt with arm discomfort in late 2017 that limited his production, missed almost the entire 2018 season and then missed more time in 2019 with a hamstring injury.

I would understand if some fans call Seager injury prone, I get it. However, I would counter that by saying the Tommy John Surgery was such a freak thing that should be fine know (if guys can pitch well after it I think Seager will be just fine throwing the ball from short) and the hamstring is an issue that can happen at any time.

However, Lindor still does not have those question marks at all around his health. He did play the fewest games in a season of his career this past year with 143 but has played in at least 158 the four years prior.

He does not have the lingering question of if his elbow will be okay and if it will impact his production at the plate, which is promising.

However, if we are being completely honest, the chances of Lindor rolling his ankle on first base is just as high as Seager, so that really does not feel like a strong point.
