3. Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers acknowledged the possibility of Clayton Kershaw missing the remainder of the season due to a herniated disc injury on Wednesday. Kershaw hasn’t pitched since June 26. The former CY Young Award winner and MVP, could miss the rest of the season. The Dodgers will certainly need a starting pitching to remain in contention for the postseason.

Despite a tweet from Ken Rosenthal suggesting the White Sox aren’t interested in trading Quintana or Sale, the Dodgers would certainly need to entice the pale hose in order to obtain one of the All-Star pitchers. The Dodgers are currently behind the San Francisco Giants in the National League West, and their best remaining starting pitcher is Kenta Maeda. White Sox general manager Rick Hahn should at least listen to any offer the Dodgers might have for Quintana.
