Los Angeles Dodgers: Right-handed power bats worth trading for
By Jason Reed
1. Mark Canha
The first right-handed power bat that the Los Angeles Dodgers could consider trading for is Mark Canha, who currently plays for the perfect team that would be willing to trade him after a career-year, the Oakland Athletics.
The Athletics have a savvy operation and have to balance the task in playing in a small baseball market along with winning games. That task has created an innovative front office that has rotated players in and out that even got its own movie based after it.
Canha is the prototypical trade bait for the Athletics as the team could sell high on him after the best season of his career. Most importantly, Canha only has one more year in arbitration before becoming a free agent, so the Athletics would absolutely deal one year of him for future assets.
The team is not going to get a ridiculous return but would probably still get one lower-tier top 30 player, perhaps someone such as Gerardo Carrillo, who is low in the Dodgers farm system but has electric stuff and has hit 100 on the radar gun.
In return, the Dodgers get yet another right-handed option in the outfield that slugged 26 home runs while hitting .273 in 410 at-bats in 2019. His .517 slugging percentage would have been fourth on the Dodgers.
