The Miami Marlins and Los Angeles Dodgers could match up on a trade that would send an intriguing slugger to the defending World Series champions.

It’s Monday, June 16 and the Padres (39-31) are in Los Angeles to take on the Dodgers (43-29). Dylan Cease is slated to take the mound for San Diego against Shohei Ohtani for Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a massive Shohei Ohtani announcement right before the game against the San Diego Padres.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly “lurking” as potential suitors for Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara ahead of the MLB trade deadline, according to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale.

Los Angeles – Shohei Ohtani could return to a major league mound in the next two weeks but Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki has paused his throwing program and is set for a lengthy layoff.

As the city of Los Angeles has featured protests in support of immigrants, Dodgers' Kike Hernandez has joined the fray on social media.

While Yankees-Red Sox is the biggest rivalry on the east coast, Giants-Dodgers is the biggest rivalry on the west coast. In fact, the two teams have been rivals since they were both back in New York when they were the New York Gothams and Brooklyn Dodgers,
