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

Pro: Francisco Lindor brings more balance to the Dodgers

The noticeable pro and the reason why Dodger fans would want to see Lindor in Dodger blue is the balance he would bring to the team, a team that struggled to get on base in the NLDS and could have used an on-base machine such as Lindor.

The Dodgers have not had a traditional lead-off man and instead have tasked power-hitting Joc Pederson to bat lead-off, which is not traditional and is frustrating. Lindor could be that lead-off hitter, something Seager could not do.

Lindor provides the speed to get on base as a lead-off hitter for the Dodgers, however, he actually has a lower career on-base percentage than Seager, which could lead the team to use Lindor in a different setting.

If they do not want to assign him lead-off duties then his switch-hitting bat could be a huge asset in the middle of the order between two left-handed hitting batters, such as Max Muncy and Cody Bellinger.

That in-between bat makes it much harder to manager against, especially with the new rule that pitchers must face at least three batters in an appearance.

The Dodgers are a left-handed heavy lineup and Lindor is someone that can play every day against either arm, which does help a team that sometimes relies too much on platoons
