The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> pretty much have the best rotation in the MLB: World Series MVP and Cy Young runner-up Yoshinobu Yamamoto, two-time Cy Young Blake Snell, four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani<\/a>, and All-Star Tyler Glasnow all dominate on the mound. However, that fifth spot in the rotation is up for grabs.<\/p>\n

FanSided\u2019s Mark Powell<\/a> proposes that if the Dodgers want to fill that slot and break baseball while they\u2019re at it, they should make a deal with the Miami Marlins<\/a>, and pick up another Cy Young and All-Star in Sandy Alcantara by the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

The trade would look like this:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dodgers get: RHP Sandy Alcantara<\/p>\n

Marlins get: MLB No. 28 overall prospect OF Mike Sirota, L.A. No. 6 prospect RHP River Ryan, L.A. No. 13 prospect LHP Zach Root<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dodgers are blessed to have a deep starting rotation. However, starting pitchers are unpredictable \u2013 especially injury-plagued starting pitchers. The Dodgers have four of those in Snell, River Ryan, Tyler Glasnow and even Shohei Ohtani. Yamamoto is about the only given\u2026If Alcantara is dealing this well for a bad Marlins team in July, then perhaps this trade has a better chance of happening,\u201d Powell wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far this season, Alcantara has posted a 2-0 record, a 0.00 ERA, 12 Ks, and a WHIP of 0.563 over 16 innings pitched. Also, the two-time All-Star threw a Maddux in his last start, tossing a complete game shutout with less than 100 pitches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, Alcantara is in year four of a five-year, $56 million contract<\/a>. However, the fifth year is a club option, so if the Dodgers trade for him and for some reason he unravels, they don\u2019t have to bring him back next year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hopefully, he doesn\u2019t and Los Angeles lands him soon, as they can for sure boast that they have the greatest starting rotation in the history of the MLB.<\/p>\n
