An MLB executive predicts the Los Angeles Dodgers will land a Philadelphia Phillies ace in a potential blockbuster trade to strengthen their rotation.

The reigning World Series champion Dodgers head to San Francisco this weekend to take on National League West rival Giants.

Ohtani will make his first start at Oracle Park on Saturday and pitch against the Giants for the first time as a member of the Dodgers.

Suarez broke out as a bona fide ace with the Phillies in an All-Star season last year that saw him post a 3.46 ERA with 145 total strikeouts. Though he has struggled with injuries throughout his career and missed the beginning of this season, he has a 1.99 ERA in 12 starts so far.

The Philadelphia Phillies are predicted to lose star pitcher Ranger Suarez to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a potential trade.

The Dodgers will first turn their attention to the trade deadline. But like last year, that search might lead them to rental starters only. For a more permanent upgrade, free agency might be the place to look.

The Dodgers have not been shy about taking huge swings via trades and free-agent signings. But if they opt for a lower-profile deal a the trade deadline, they could target Griffin Jax of the Minnesota Twins.

After a brief playing career in Chicago that consisted of 95 games, the Philadelphia native found fame as a coach and manager; his 1983 rant remains legendary.

Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani has the top-selling MLB jersey for the first half of 2025 season. Teammates Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman are also in top four.

The Brewers swept the Dodgers, Mike Trout is quietly thriving, Jazz Chisholm Jr. went yard twice and more from Wednesday's MLB action.
