The Los Angeles Dodgers could have more roster movement coming.<\/p>\n
Last season, the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> were able to repeat as World Series champions. Despite being pushed to seven games by the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>, the Dodgers came out victorious.<\/p>\n Entering the MLB<\/a> offseason, fans were curious to see what the Dodgers would do to push for a three-peat. So far this offseason, Los Angeles has made a couple of quality moves.<\/p>\n At this point in time, their biggest addition was former New York Mets<\/a> reliever Edwin Diaz. He was signed to a lucrative three-year, $69 million contract.<\/p>\n Looking at the rest of the offseason, the Dodgers could consider pursuing a big trade that might have come available. That trade would include Los Angeles pursuing a trade with the Chicago Cubs<\/a> for second baseman Nico Hoerner.<\/p>\n After the Cubs were able to sign star free agent third baseman Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175 million contract, Hoerner could be made available for trade. If that does happen, the Dodgers should consider pursuing him.<\/p>\n Nico Hoerner Is a Perfect Trade Target for the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/p>\n Right now, Los Angeles is projected to start Hyeseong Kim at second base in 2026. He\u2019s a quality player, but he is far from being an elite option.<\/p>\n Hoerner would immediately give the Dodgers an upgrade at the position.<\/p>\n MLB insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today<\/a> immediately suggested the idea of Chicago trading Hoerner after signing Bregman.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Cubs now can move Matt Shaw to second base and trade Nico Hoerner or simply make Shaw a super utility player,\u201d Nightengale wrote on X.<\/p>\n During the 2025 MLB season with the Cubs, Hoerner played in 156 games. He hit seven home runs to go along with 61 RBI and also produced a slash line of .297\/.345\/.394.<\/p>\n Those numbers would slide nicely into the Los Angeles lineup. Hoerner is also a threat on the base paths, which would be a welcome addition for Dave Roberts. He\u2019s exactly the kind of upgrade that could help power the Dodgers to a third straight championship.<\/p>\n What Would It Take to Acquire Horner from the Cubs?<\/p>\n Making a move for Hoerner would not come cheap for Los Angeles. He\u2019s a quality player and the Dodgers would need to pay a quality price.<\/p>\n Back on December 24, a suggested trade package<\/a> was brought up by ClutchPoints. In order to get him, Los Angeles would give up second baseman Hyeseong Kim and right-hander River Ryan. That might be a bit too cheap, but it\u2019s a starting point.<\/p>\n That suggested trade should be taken with a grain of salt. It\u2019s just an idea with no concrete backing. However, the Dodgers have the pieces to get a deal done if they choose to pursue it.<\/p>\n Horner is just 28 years old. He would be a potential long-term addition if Los Angeles were to acquire him. It\u2019s the kind of move that could put the Dodgers in a much better position for years to come.<\/p>\n Expect to hear more rumors surrounding Chicago and Los Angeles. Hoerner may not be made available, but if he is the Dodgers should come calling.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEvan Massey<\/strong><\/a> Evan Massey is a sports reporter and analyst located in Indianapolis, Indiana who covers the NFL, NBA, MLB, WNBA, and college sports.
