The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the middle of spring training, finally, with less than a month until the season starts and the push for the three-peat officially begins.

The Dodgers’ roster, upon evaluation, looks strong in almost every area, having young and veteran players to boot for an entire season.

However, there are still some marginal improvements the franchise can make to boost its depth for this season and going forward.

Here are three trades that Los Angeles can make:

Max Muncy’s insurance and/or replacement

The Dodgers player on the 40-man roster most likely to be traded is Ryan Ward, who has become somewhat obsolete after the addition of Kyle Tucker and the renewed commitment to Teoscar Hernandez in left field.

With other depth options that can serve as depth, there’s a line of outfield prospects waiting in the wings to challenge for Hernandez’s spot or replace Tucker if he opts out.

The 28-year-old Ward has mashed in the minor leagues over the last two years, and the time is now for the Dodgers to cash in on his value and look to help out in the infield, where the team is admittedly quite old.

Muncy is in his mid-30s, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts are also in their 30s, while Miguel Rojas is retiring soon, and platoon staple Kike Hernandez is not getting any younger.

This is where a young gun like Vientos, who is only 26 years old, can factor in. He can play at third base and first, giving the Dodgers an answer at either position long-term.

The infielder will not be a free agent until 2030, giving him four years of team control for a Dodgers team that has multiple big contracts on the books.

He had a down year in 2025, but his 2024 season was good, valued at 3.1 bWAR while slashing .266/.322/.516. Vientos had an OPS+ of 137, hitting 27 home runs that year.

Given the Dodgers’ play development record, Vientos could be a guy who taps back into that potential and serves as a replacement for Muncy, who inked a new contract, but it was a short-term extension that only locks him in for two more years.

The Mets need outfield help, and a young slugger like Ward would have a path to at very least join the platoon, if not get a starting nod as Carson Benge, their top outfield prospect, develops.

More bullpen help for the Dodgers

Dodgers get: LHP Jojo Romero

Cardinals get: RHP Bobby Miller

It has been a rapid fall for Miller, who looked to be the Dodgers’ next pitcher prospect success story, though injuries and issues with his command have been costly for the young flamethrower.

His stuff and velocity still make him a tantalizing player, but it may be best for the team and him to part ways.

The Cardinals are rebuilding, and they could afford to take a flier on Miller, letting him get past his growing pains without immediate playoff pressure.

The 27-year-old’s struggles have reduced his value enough that the Dodgers may need to add a prospect to the deal to get it over the line.

Romero has been a steady reliever for the past three years, putting up 0.7, 0.9, and 1.7 bWAR seasons.

As a southpaw, he serves as insurance in case Tanner Scott, who battled injuries last season and failed to live up to his massive contract, does not deliver as the set-up man.

The Dodgers may not need another reliever urgently like they did last season, but another would help to avoid another scenario where the starters must go deep into games.

A Blake Trenien Alternative

Following the logic from the Romero trade, a contending team can never have enough pitching, and Griffin Jax could serve as insurance for Trenien, who was not good last year and missed a lot of time after heavy usage in the 2024 postseason.

The Rays traded for Jax last year — a steady righty who has been good and delivers a good amount of consistency.

Over his five years in the majors, including his poor rookie year, he has a 3.8 bWAR with a 4.04 ERA in 299 appearances. He has two years of team control, and at 31, he should still have more in the tank.

The Dodgers have enough pitching depth and high-upside pitchers who could give them the needed cover in the bullpen, but adding Jax would give them a higher floor and less variance, a good thing for a team as talented as Los Angeles.

Sirota is the Dodgers’ No. 5 prospect, and losing him would be a steep price, but they have too many outfield prospects, and he could be in a package for Jax or another reliever if they decide to buy at the trade deadline.

Andrew Friedman is known for holding onto prospects until they make it to the majors, getting a good look at them among the pros, but it is hard to see Sirota breaking through anytime soon, and not before Zyhir Hope or Josue De Paula.
