With the Los Angeles Dodgers challenging their third consecutive World Series feat, the possibility of additional trade in the U.S. has been raised.

Dodgers Nation, a U.S. media outlet that mainly deals with Dodgers news, said, "The highest trade among Dodgers' 40-man roster is Ryan Ward (28), an outfielder."

The Dodgers are aiming for an overwhelming victory this season with virtually perfect power.

However, if I have to choose a variable, the main infielders are old. Freddie Freeman is 37, Max Muncy is 36, and Mookie Betts is 34, with all of the team's main infielders over their mid-30s or heading into the middle. On top of that, it is no exaggeration to say that veteran Miguel Rojas is 37 years old and is now on the verge of retirement. Cicke Hernandez is 35 years old, not young blood.

One of their alternatives is infielder Mark Vientos (27), who currently plays for the New York Mets. The media explained, "If the Dodgers recruit him, they will put weight on the infield and at the same time transfuse young blood."

Mark Vientos was drafted by the New York Mets with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2017 rookie draft, making his big league debut in September 2022. You can play as a third baseman and a first baseman. In the 2024 season, he played in 111 games with a batting average of 0.266, 27 homers, 71 RBIs, on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS) of 0.838, and in the 2025 season, he played in 121 games with a batting average of 0.233, 17 homers, 61 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.702, respectively.

The media said, "In order to acquire Vientos, we need to give up Ryan Ward as a key trade card. If he moves to the Mets, who are in desperate need of reinforcement of the outfield, he could take the main position."

There is no other particular reason. It's just because the Dodgers' outfield was filled with so many outstanding players. The media said, "Ward has outstanding skills," but added, "Theoska Hernandez has signed a new contract for the Dodgers. In addition, Kyle Tucker joined, and the outfield became saturated. In the meantime, Ward's position has also narrowed, he analyzed.
