Trading Partners?

T.R. Sullivan of the Star-Telegram looks at Texas' needs and decides on an obvious trading partner:


The Los Angeles Dodgers have the greatest need for offensive help and are loaded with pitching prospects. But they're unlikely to give up their two best prospects, right-hander Edwin Jackson and left-hander Greg Miller, even for Soriano. If the Rangers want to discuss pitching with the Dodgers, they'd most likely have to talk about Odalis Perez, their 26-year-old left-hander who has won 27 games during the past two years.

How fast do the Dodgers want to win? The Angels are the hot team in southern California right now. With a new owner, will it be worth it for the Dodgers to build up the offense around an already fine pitching staff to try to win this year? The NL West appears to me to be the most wide open division in the majors. An offensive boost could easily put the Dodgers on top. We'll see if DePodesta sees any opportunities in Texas.
