Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers could part ways with one of their top prospects<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> continue to have one of the strongest farm systems in the Major Leagues.<\/p>\n They have a surplus of promising young prospects on board who are likely to provide great depth down the line.<\/p>\n However, one of their prospects has been floating in more trade rumors.<\/p>\n Dodgers\u2019 Prospect Considered \u2018Marquee Trade Chip\u2019 GettyZyhir Hope of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been named a \u201cmarquee trade chip\u201d for the franchise<\/p>\n Outfielder Zyhir Hope ranks as Los Angeles\u2019 No. 5 prospect this season.<\/p>\n He is just behind Emil Morales (No. 4), Eduardo Quintero (No. 3), Mike Sirota (No. 2) and Josue De Paula (No. 1).<\/p>\n According to a blockbuster trade projection revealed by Joel Reuter of Bleacher Report<\/a>, Hope is the \u201cmost likely marquee trade chip in a major blockbuster deal\u201d among Dodgers\u2019 prospects.<\/p>\n The Chicago Cubs<\/a> selected Hope 326th overall in the 11th round of the 2023 MLB draft.<\/p>\n In January 2024, Los Angeles acquired him and Jackson Ferris in exchange for Yency Almonte and Michael Busch.<\/p>\n So far this season in Double-A, the 21-year-old lefty bat is slashing .287\/.367\/.521 with a .888 OPS and 21 homers through 89 games.<\/p>\n He has posted 17 doubles, one triple and 84 RBIs along the way.<\/p>\n As detailed in Hope\u2019s prospect profile<\/a>, \u201cHope has added significant muscle since turning pro, is built like a running back and possesses well above-average raw power from the left side of the plate. His bat speed and strength produce high-end exit velocities, and he has no trouble driving balls in the air to his pull side\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n His general upside on offense and defense should be tempting for other organizations.<\/p>\n His bat alone has been remarkably hot in July, logging eight homers this month.<\/p>\n Where the Dodgers Stand Right Now Norm Hall\/Getty ImagesZyhir Hope of the Los Angeles Dodgers could be traded at the MLB trade deadline<\/p>\n It shouldn\u2019t come as any surprise that Los Angeles continues to lead the Major Leagues atop the standings at 66-38 overall.<\/p>\n Lining up behind the Dodgers in second and third are the Milwaukee Brewers<\/a> (64-39) and the Atlanta Braves (61-42).<\/p>\n As the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline approaches, they\u2019re expected to be buyers.<\/p>\n But if Reuter\u2019s projection is deemed correct, fans might end up waving Hope goodbye rather soon.<\/p>\n Los Angeles is in the middle of their trio of games at Citi Field against the New York Mets<\/a>.<\/p>\n On Friday, July 24, the Dodgers clinched a 4-2 victory over the Mets.<\/p>\n Two more matchups are remaining before they return home to Dodger Stadium to face the Seattle Mariners<\/a>.<\/p>\n Rounding out the month of July and into August, Los Angeles will face the Boston Red Sox<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Dodgers are trailed by the Arizona Diamondbacks (55-49), the San Diego Padres<\/a> (51-53), the San Francisco Giants (43-60) and the Colorado Rockies (42-63).<\/p>\n At this point in the series, the Dodgers are once again serving as serious contenders for yet another run to the World Series.<\/p>\n According to FanGraphs<\/a>, they have a 99.8% chance of winning their division. They also have a 25.4% chance of winning the Fall Classic this year.<\/p>\n Currently on a three-game winning streak, they\u2019re looking to further their momentum.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tMaria Aldrich<\/a> Maria Aldrich is a dedicated sportswriter who focuses on Major League Baseball for Heavy.com.
