The Dodgers need help here - more so than they need Soto.

It's also reasonable to question whether Clayton Kershaw and Andrew Heaney will stay healthy, and whether Tony Gonsolin and Tyler Anderson will remain effective.

Dustin May and Blake Treinen are on their way back, and Walker Buehler could return at some point in September, but it's hard to count on all that. On the other side, it's littered with questions - throughout their rotation and in the back end of their bullpen. On one side, their staff boasts the lowest ERA in the majors. But their big question is pitching, mainly because it's difficult to determine what it is they need. The Dodgers have been heavily linked to Juan Soto, which shouldn't surprise anyone - they have the prospects to make any deal, the finances to afford any star and a recent history of pulling off blockbusters. We also asked ESPN MLB experts David Schoenfield, Bradford Doolittle, Jesse Rogers, Joon Lee and Alden Gonzalez to weigh in with an observation for all 30 teams. Our expert panel has combined to rank every team in baseball based on a combination of what we've seen so far and what we already knew going into the 162-game marathon that is a full baseball season. How do all 30 squads stack up ahead of the trade deadline? The Nationals, meanwhile, are the talk of the deadline due to the potential departure of their star outfielder, Juan Soto. The once-struggling Blue Jays have won seven of their last eight games, so they might attempt to do the same. The Yankees have all but secured their postseason berth, but they have begun to show cracks coming out of the All-Star break, meaning they could look to acquire talent at the deadline. 2 deadline approaches, some teams will make moves to get players who will have an immediate playoff impact, while other clubs are looking to trade their star to turn their attention to long-term playoff hopes.

Teams are about to enter the last month of the regular season, so you know what that means - the MLB trade deadline!Īs the Aug.
