Cleveland Indians: Francisco Lindor trade packages from the NL West

Perhaps the NL West team that has shown the most interest in Lindor is the defending World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers.

While their current shortstop Corey Seager won World Series MVP honors, the Dodgers are always looking to add star power and with Justin Turner likely to leave in free agency, the team could look to move either Seager or Lindor to third base to make room for both.

A trade package from the Dodgers would most definitely need to include shortstop Gavin Lux who was LA’s top ranked prospect before appearing in the majors in both 2019 and 2020.

Outside of Lux, outfield prospect DJ Peters and right-handed pitching prospect Gerardo Carrillo would also make sense for the Tribe.

Peters is a 24-year old outfielder who is the Dodgers’ 11th ranked prospect. In parts of four minor league seasons, Peters has posted an impressive .269/.363/.503 slash line in his minor league career with 92 home runs and 271 RBI’s. With must-see pop, and experience at all minor league levels, he would likely be able to join the Indians major league outfield immediately.

Finally, Carrillo is LA’s 16th ranked prospect who has complied a 3.57 ERA over the course of three MiLB seasons.

This package would give the Indians their Lindor replacement, a much-needed starter and power bat in the outfield and a right-handed arm with potential to blossom in Cleveland’s pitching-rich minor league system.
