Regardless of a mini two sport profitable streak, it’s turning into clear that the Dodgers might want to make a commerce or three by August 2nd to get the roster championship prepared. One space of apparent want is the shortstop place. It appeared like it will find yourself that manner as quickly because the group misplaced Gavin Lux for the season however the hope was that Miguel Rojas would at the least be league common with the bat in his place. As a substitute, Miggy has barely been on the sphere for LA as he battles numerous nagging accidents.
Mookie Betts bought his first begin on the place on Sunday, however it feels just like the Dodgers are much less inclined to need to go the Mookie route long run.
A reputation that has been linked to LA just about since Lux went down is White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, who seemingly can be a pleasant slot in Dodger blue. T.A. was a subject of dialog between DodgersNation.com’s Doug McKain and MLB Community analyst Alanna Rizzo on a latest version of the Dodgers Dougout Podcast. Whereas Doug sees the match, Alanna isn’t as certain.
“No, I don’t. And never for causes of athleticism, clearly he’s extremely proficient. I don’t know Tim Anderson very nicely — I’ve interviewed him a few instances — he simply doesn’t appear to suit the mantra of what the Dodgers are like so far as a chemistry standpoint. … and who’s to say the White Sox are even out of it by that time … I don’t even know that Tim Anderson will even be out there… No, I don’t see him in a Dodger uniform.”

Now, we’re not going so as to add to any ideas that aren’t our personal, however as a substitute, we’ll discover the best way he’d greatest match on the group. He’s an All-Star caliber participant that may deal with shortstop and hits round .300 or higher 12 months in and 12 months out. There’s a spot and a necessity for somebody like Anderson on this group, and the Dodgers have the prospect capital to get a deal accomplished, however the White Sox have playoff hopes themselves and play in a principally dangerous division.
We have now just a few months to be taught whether or not or not the two-time All-Star will likely be out there. However, if and when he does change into out there, the Dodgers ought to contemplate leaping throughout a deal.
