The Los Angeles Dodgers own a robust 7 1/2-game advantage in the National League West, which means the next few months could be about probing baseball’s deepest roster for potential problem spots. Such flaws are difficult to find. Even after an ugly 13-5 loss Sunday against the Angels, they have a comfortable division lead while possessing the best offense (.784 OPS) and pitching staff (3.17 ERA) in baseball.Their plus-133 run differential leads the majors.There are still questions about the back-to-back World Series champions. Thank you for submitting them. Some were edited for clarity and length.Our Dodgers beat writers Fabian Ardaya and Katie Woo are here with answers, so let’s get to it:The Dodgers typically don’t trade good prospects for a rental. Do you think Tarik Skubal is an exception to that, given 1) it’s Skubal and 2) other teams that would compete with the Dodgers in the playoffs, like the Braves and Brewers, could put together a good package for him? The Dodgers might want to keep Skubal away from those teams for this playoff run. — Chris S.Ardaya: Do the Dodgers have a starting pitching need? The lowest rotation ERA in baseball (2.90) and the eventual returns of Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow suggest no.That isn’t exactly how this front office operates. The Dodgers don’t have an obvious area to address at the deadline, and there isn’t a wealth of options (especially on the position player front) expected to be available. The Dodgers don’t have to do anything, but they also can do everything.So it’s time to repeat a sentiment Andrew Friedman has often expressed over the years in terms of talent acquisition, including this 2021 quote:“It’s about trying to add impact talent and meaningfully move the odds. For us, there’s such a finite number of them that are available that when you’re able to line up in our minds, we’re aggressive to pounce. Because it just doesn’t come along all that often.”Is there going to be a player available who impacts the Dodgers’ World Series odds more than Skubal would? No. For that reason alone, along with the depth of the Dodgers’ system, you can’t completely rule them out.Woo: It’s worth noting the Dodgers are one of the few teams with the prospect capital to even entertain the notion of a Skubal trade. Granted, the package required to pull off the trade would be less than what was projected during the winter, given a) Skubal will be a free agent next year and b) he’s coming off elbow surgery on May 6. Still, Skubal has already started a rehab assignment and could rejoin the Tigers by next weekend.You’re correct in pointing out the Dodgers’ reluctance to part with prospects for rentals. Most of Friedman’s big swings come in the offseason, as he’s refrained from blockbuster trades at the deadline in recent years. But with the collective bargaining agreement set to expire, baseball operations across the industry could look significantly different next year. It’s three-peat or bust for the Dodgers. So why wouldn’t they look to capitalize on this window?
