Dodgers Eye $106M Duo Buxton, Ryan in Trade Bid

Los Angeles is reportedly willing to part with rotation depth to acquire Byron Buxton, an elite center fielder, and Joe Ryan, a rising starting pitcher, in a deal that could cost $106 million. The move would give the Dodgers a powerful upgrade in both the outfield and starting rotation, positioning them as the clear favorites for the 2026 World Series.

Meanwhile, pitcher Blake Snell is unlikely to start Opening Day as he continues a limited throwing progression, and the Dodgers are also looking to strengthen a bullpen that struggled with injuries last season. The trade would help the team maintain its championship trajectory.
