The Dodgers have plenty of trade chips to use this winter.  These three players may be their best trade chips to use this winter.

The Dodgers enter the off-season with a myriad of ways they could improve their club for the 2020 season.  The bullpen and starting rotation figure to get the most attention but the offense could also use another slugger, especially a right-handed hitter with a lineup full of powerful left-handed hitters.  With almost $40 million in space under the luxury tax, the Dodgers could make their biggest free-agent signing in years.

That is if Andrew Friedman gets approval from ownership to go out and sign Anthony Rendon or Gerrit Cole.  Stephen Strasburg could also be in the mix if he is interested in pitching closer to home.  If the Dodgers stick to their conservative approach then there won’t be a big signing and the move could come through a trade.  With Mookie Betts and Francisco Lindor on the trading block, this could be an off-season where several stars get moved.

If the Dodgers do go the trade route, here are three prospects that could help them land a star player via trade.
