The Dodgers were knocked out of the NLCS by the Brewers, and the talk that follows is about Corey Seager. The former Dodgers shortstop, now playing for Texas, recently underwent elbow surgery and finds himself ranked 15th on a list of the top 25 trade chips. His contract of $31.5 million per year for five more seasons, combined with a long injury record, makes him a tough piece to move. Yet when he’s healthy, he’s still one of the best shortstops in the league. Teams such as the Red Sox and Braves have shown interest before, and if Atlanta decides to trade away Acuña or Albies, they could absorb his salary. Meanwhile, the Dodgers have built a powerhouse around Ohtani, Yamamoto and Freeman, so losing Seager hasn’t slowed them down.
