Dodgers Consider Trades for Reds' Abbott, Martinez

The Los Angeles Dodgers, dealing with injuries in their pitching staff, are exploring trades for Cincinnati Reds pitchers Andrew Abbott and Nick Martinez. Abbott is seen as a potential long-term addition due to his team control through 2030, while Martinez, on an expiring contract, could also be moved. Proposed deals have the Dodgers offering top prospects like Dalton Rushing, Eduardo Quintero, and Justin Wrobleski, addressing the Reds' need for outfield and catching talent. The Reds' surplus of pitching prospects and Rhett Lowder's expected return may prompt them to trade Abbott or Martinez. These moves could immediately strengthen the Dodgers' rotation and help the Reds add key position players for the future. Both teams stand to benefit from a deal addressing their respective needs.
