Dodgers’ perfect trade offer for Nationals’ CJ Abrams

The Los Angeles Dodgers should pursue CJ Abrams with a package that addresses the Washington Nationals’ pitching needs while strengthening their own infield. Emmet Sheehan, Christian Zazueta and Alex Freeland would give Washington immediate options and future upside for a hitter entering his prime. The Athletic’s Jim Bowden underscored why pursuing Abrams or Cincinnati Reds star Elly De La Cruz would make sense for the Dodgers while noting the organization’s confidence in its emerging prospects.
