The Los Angeles Dodgers have shown in the past that they aren't afraid to swing a deal no matter where the team is at in the standings.
Los Angeles, unsurprisingly, is atop the National League West once again. The reigning World Series champs have a 55-32 record and are steamrolling through the National League once again despite injuries popping up left and right this season -- especially in the starting rotation.
This was the case last year as well and the Dodgers responded by going out and acquiring Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers. Who could be this year's big addition? We're only a few weeks away from finding out.
But, another question is who the Dodgers could trade away at this point? The Athletic's Jim Bowden listed outfield prospect Zyhir Hope among the top prospects who could be moved this summer.

"No. 6. Zyhir Hope, OF, Dodgers," Bowden said. "If the Dodgers make yet another big trade deadline deal, most executives believe that Hope will be the prospect headliner going the other way. The Dodgers acquired Hope and lefty Jackson Ferris last year in a trade with the Cubs for first baseman Michael Busch and reliever Yency Almonte. Hope, 20, has batted .300/.401/.468 with 20 doubles, seven homers and 11 steals this season in High A. The Athletic’s Keith Law had him No. 39 in his most recent top prospects ranking."
The Dodgers seemingly find a way to make magic happen each summer. The trade deadline will pass on July 31st and Los Angeles will surely have something up its sleeve.
