Overview

• Los Angeles is exploring trade options ahead of the July deadline to reinforce a rotation depleted by injuries
• MLB insider Jeff Passan names Buehler—who carries a 4.44 ERA over nine starts this season for Boston—as Los Angeles’s prime target
• Boston signed Buehler to a one-year deal last offseason and could be open to trading him if the Red Sox’s struggles persist
• The Dodgers could leverage a deep farm system, potentially including infield prospect Alex Freeland and breakout outfielder Andy Pages, to sweeten a deal
• Buehler’s reputation as a postseason performer stems from his shutout relief innings that helped lock down the 2024 World Series title
