Los Angeles needs reinforcements.

Dodgers need to trade for this veteran after another Tyler Glasnow injury originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Los Angeles Dodgers , despite being the best team in Major League Baseball, still have needs.

We can look at the Dodgers' roster and see one of the greatest teams ever assembled, but that doesn't mean there aren't flaws on the roster, just like everywhere else. The Dodgers have to do a better job of staying healthy on the mound, though that seems almost impossible at times with guys like Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow at the top of that rotation. Glasnow was injured again on Wednesday, a concerning sign for a Dodgers organization looking to go back-to-back-to-back.

Putting two and two together, there could be some decent arms out there for the Dodgers to go after who might not cost them too much. According to Robert Murray of FanSided, one of those guys could be Michael Wacha. He didn't connect the Dodgers to the veteran right-hander, but I think it makes a lot of sense for the Dodgers to go after a starter of his caliber.

โ€œWachaโ€™s teammate, Kris Bubic, will get most of the headlines because heโ€™s on an expiring contract. But Wacha will also draw plenty of interest if the Kansas City Royals are out of contention at the deadline. โ€œWacha, 34, is signed through 2027 on a three-year, $51 million contract.
