The Los Angeles Dodgers, fresh off a World Series win, traded left-handed pitcher Robinson Ortiz to the Seattle Mariners for right-hander Tyler Gough. This move comes after Ortiz was recently added to the Dodgers forty-man roster, raising questions about their strategy. Ortiz, a promising prospect, had strong strikeout numbers but struggled with walks. Gough, on the other hand, missed the entire 2025 season due to an elbow injury. The Dodgers may use the freed-up roster spot to protect other players or acquire another significant player. The trade could also signal a plan to address weaknesses like left field, with the free agent market looking thin.
