Dodgers Rumors: MLB Insider Links 2 Top Relievers to LA as Potential Trade Targets

The trade deadline is such a fun time to experience as a baseball fan, and for Dodger fans, the boys in blue can make a major impact in the trade block. 

Baseball Expert, Mark Feinsand, believes Kansas City Royals relievers, Aroldis Chapman and Scott Barlow, are a great fit for the Dodgers. 

And for us at Inside The Dodgers, we couldn't agree more.

The Dodgers are in desperate need of a veteran presence in the bullpen, and who better to have in there than Aroldis Chapman. 

Carrying a 1.69 ERA in his previous 11 outings, Chapman ages like fine wine. Throwing some heat from the mound, Chapman recorded his 500th career strikeout with a 100-plus mph fastball, a pitch he's consistently forcing batters to swing at. 

As for Barlow, his numbers aren't as impressive as Chapman's, but as of late he's been heating up. Posting a 2.37 ERA with an opponent OPS of .514 since April, Barlow is on rise of the improvement rollercoaster. 

Two teammates moving to a new place together means that these two are already comfortable with each other. And with this team, I'm sure there's no clubhouse more welcoming than the Dodger's clubhouse. 

Just a pair of many the Dodgers can think about as the trade deadline is not until August 1st at 6pm EST.

Currently playing with one of the worst teams in Baseball, a fresh start at a new club like the Dodgers wouldn't be a bad idea, especially one where both Chapman and Barlow can be really helpful at. 

Besides, it's the City of Angels. What's there not to like in Los Angeles?
