Could the Dodgers acquire Juan Soto AND Luis Castillo?

The Dodgers could pull off two blockbusters

Over the last few days, I’ve been having a lot of fun going over hypothetical scenarios involving Juan Soto and the Dodgers. As you know, he’s available for trade and there’s a chance the Dodgers add one of the best hitters in the game.

Wouldn’t that be something?

With the trade deadline less than two weeks away, there are other potential needs for the Dodgers, though nothing is glaring at the moment. Sure, they could use a starting pitcher. They could also use a reliever or two.

One of the names that has been linked to the Dodgers is Luis Castillo, a starting pitcher for the Reds. Many people believe he is the player the Dodgers should be targeting entering the deadline.

Sure, adding Castillo to LA’s rotation would be huge. I would love that addition. However, if you’re trading for Castillo, that likely takes the Dodgers out of the sweepstakes for Soto, right?

RIGHT?

I don’t believe so.

I think the Dodgers have what it takes to acquire both Castillo AND Soto ahead of the trade deadline.
