Dodgers Trade Talks ESCALATING… Insider reveals INSANE 3-team trade | Dodgers News

Dodgers trade talks are escalating as an MLB insider just revealed an insane three team trade that has the Dodgers landing exactly what they want, a versatile outfielder for a relatively cheap price. We talk about the details of this trade right here on Dodgers Digest. Welcome everybody. I’m Jayce Andrews and I appreciate you hanging out with me and tuning into the show. So, the Dodgers obviously looking to improve their team in any way possible, but it seems though the outfield is less than likely going to be going after Kyle Tucker. Cody Bellinger is still an option, but they want a more short-term slashchuper, let’s say, fix to their outfield problems. And so, let’s forget about the free agents, forget about those small names. They could go out there and get Trent Gisham accepted his qualifying offer from the Yankees, so it looks like he’s going to be staying there. and it kind of limits your options in the outfield. However, that’s kind of where we start our progress here today because Anthony Castro of MLB.com released this article on Thanksgiving titling seven ridiculous trades we’d like to see. Now, in this article, he goes through, of course, seven ridiculous trades, but throughout all of them, he states why, first of all, we want to see them, and second of all, why he thinks every single one of the parties in each of these trades would be open slash want to make this deal. That’s where we get to the Dodgers part of this article as he labeled his number four trade as what we would like to see as call it a mini mini mookie trade. Now what exactly does he mean by this? Well, of course that means it involves the Boston Red Sox because that’s where Mookie Bets came from in what we would call Mookie Bets’s trade. You know, first Mukbie bets trade, whatever you want to do. What exactly are the details of this trade? Well, that’s what I’m going to show you right here. The Dodgers in this deal, three team by the way, would receive outfielder Jiren Durant from the Boston Red Sox. Now, I mentioned this is a three-team trade. So, the Red Sox also involved in this deal. They don’t get a Dodgers prospect, a Dodgers player. They get a right-handed pitcher from the Minnesota Twins in I would say second tier ace caliber Joe Ryan. In return, the Twins would get Zier Hope, the Dodgers number two prospect, Jackson Ferris, the Dodgers number six prospect, and Chase Harland, the Dodgers number 18 prospect, alongside Marcus Phillips, a right-handed pitcher out of Boston system. That is the Red Sox 11th ranked prospect. Now, first glance, I would say the Dodgers are 100% giving up more for this trade than what the Red Sox are giving up. And I would argue that the Red Sox are also maybe getting a better caliber player. And I love Jiren Durant. I want him on the Dodgers. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not trying to sit here and say that Jiren Durant is not gonna don’t want him. I just think that in terms of this deal, they’re getting the better end of the stick. But does that mean the Dodgers are getting a bad deal? No. No, it’s not a bad deal. I think that in a lot of ways, what the Dodgers goal is is to do a repeat. So, in that aspect, we go out, we look and we see and say, hm, okay, well, the Dodgers want to get that three repeat title. And Jiren Durant, who is a California kid, a guy who played at um Long Beach State, like he is he’s really close to Los Angeles throughout pretty much all of his life. And now we sit here and say, well, this could be a very good deal for the Dodgers for a multitude of different reasons. But we have to talk about it from the Dodgers logistical side of why Jiren Duran makes sense. Because again, if you go back in this trade, you’re giving up your number two prospect, your number six prospect, and your number 18 prospect, and in return, you’re getting Jiren Durant, whereas the Red Sox giving up Jiren Durant and Marcus Phillips and getting Joe Ryan. So, um, let’s talk about Jiren Durant here and and really break down why I believe he actually is a a very good target for the Boston Red Sox. And the first thing that I see with him is just his versatility. The stats can tell you a lot, but he plays a very good center field. Played left field this year and uh I’m not going to say he looked bad, but whenever there’s a monster in left field like there is in Finway Park, I don’t know that there’s a valuable way to judge him. He was also getting gold glove votes last year in center field and it left field not not as good of a place or rather an relatively easier place to play in center field and yet he didn’t do as well. But 332 on base, 159 hits, 24 stolen bags, 620 on 620 in the abs. Did strike out a lot more than the prior year, 169 strikeouts. But I think it is tough to look at Jiren Durant cuz from the Red Sox perspective, he took a dip. But in a lot of other people’s perspective, he is still a very good player. In fact, if you remember, Jiren Duran was actually the MVP of the All-Star in last season in Texas. took Hunter Green deep, ended up being the gamewinning home run for the American League, and won the MVP, the diamond bat, whatever you want to call that thing, clear bat. Um, and uh, he just kind of fits the Dodgers mantra, I think, is the best way to put that. And again, from a three team purposes, you do have to think, okay, well, we’re trading something, the Twins are trading something. Why? Why do the Red Sox really want Joe Ryan? They didn’t just make the trade for Sunny Gray. However, it does seem that they want to because in the MB trade deadline, John Morosei for about two minutes had a tweet out there that the Red Sox had traded for Joe Ryan. There were reports going all around that the Red Sox GM Craig Brezlo was going to go out and make this move. Ended up being a fake. It did not happen. Marosi was wrong. Shocker. But either way, this is a very intriguing trade. I mean, so I I want to go further into the discussion, but I want to ask you the question looking at this trade again. You get Jiren Duran. Red Sox get Joe Ryan. You’re giving up your number two, your number six, and your number 18 prospects for Jiren. Would you accept this trade? And I’m curious for your opinion. If you would take this trade, then I want you to type a little T for trade in the comment section for me. If you’re saying, “No, I’m not doing this. I’m letting it go. I think this is a bad move. We’re giving up way too much where the Red Sox are not giving up enough.” Then I want you to type a P for pass. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section. I’m taking this trade. I do think again you’re paying a little bit more than the Red Sox. And I would probably ask the Red Sox to throw an extra prospect in there instead of maybe going back and looking this trying to keep Chase Harland or if you want to play a little bit hard ball trying to keep Jackson Ferris. I think to make this deal, Zire hope has to be included given the Red Sox giving up just their number 11 prospect. But again, if they can include that, maybe it boosts it up. Let’s see what they had to say on the article though. Anthony Castrovens of lb.com saying this quote, “We send Duran to the Dodgers who might stop short of paying top dollar for Kyle Tucker or Cody Bellinger, but could surely stand to shore up their outfield with someone of the 29-year-old Duran’s power speed combo caliber.” End quote. And he’s right. When you look at the Savant page here of Jiren Duran, he is that power speed guy. A great fielder, great speed. Um, his average exit below is good. His bat speed is great, but there was a lot of blue on this thing. Now, his his values up top are in the high reds because ultimately the best thing at least for Jiren Durant and the purposes of him coming to the Dodgers, he’s versatile and his value can be can be added to a large part of this. I mean, yes, he was the Red Sox lead off hitter two years ago, but this year he didn’t play a lot of games or he played a lot of games as lead off, but he didn’t play all of them. he could easily bat, you know, back of back part of the lineup, maybe put him six or seven and kind of get a extra jump start to your lineup in which sometimes the Dodgers were missing in this past season. Now, again, I told you he took a little bit of a dive from last season and that is true because if you look at 2025 and the year prior, the average was up, the OBP was up, the slugging, the OPS, they were all up in 2024 as compared to 2025. But in 2023, he was injured and on pace for a lot of the stuff he did in 2025 with doubles, triples, the speed, the power, it’s there. And you put him in the right situation, especially as a Cali boy, get him back to LA. I think that spells for a lot of success. Now, the final reason I want to pull up here as to why this trade makes sense. And a bigger reason why Jiren Durant is such a good aspect of this team is because you’re not going to rely on him fully to make this squad better. You have Alex Call who you acquired in the trade deadline uh this season and he’s going to be batting righty. You got Jiren Durant as a lefty. You can somewhat combo them and we like Andy Pah. He had a great season but gosh was that postseason terrible. And if Jiren wants to play center field again, you can put him there and give Pah the night off and have Alex Call play in left field. If you want to say you want to platoon these guys, Alex Call, Jiren Duran, uh maybe give Tayaskar Hernandez off, you can do that. It gives you four different outfitters that you can play. Not to mention um a guy in the minor leagues Ryan Ward who you can trust and kind of maybe bring up and see what his role could be on this team as well. So I like the idea of this. Jiren Duran also did sign a relatively cheap contract most recently with the Boston Red Sox to avoid arbitration. It’s a very good trade. I think that I would try and maybe play a little hard ball as in maybe making the Red Sox give up an extra prospect instead of you giving up three prospects and then giving up one for what they’re getting as I’m not going to say a higher caliber than Jiren Durant but definitely a guy that they probably want more than the Dodgers want Durant in some aspects but that’s just my two cents. So let me know your thoughts on this trade on this aspect of Jiren Durant as a guy you’d like. Obviously a Cali boy if anybody you know knows him from his Long Beach State days he played second base there. So, a little different. But either way, I am uh curious for your thoughts and get those in the comment section. We appreciate you. Make sure you continue to subscribe and watch.
