[Los Angeles] 5.26.22. Dodgers beat writer, Jeff Passan, reports breaking news today that the Dodgers will opt to trade their newest acquisition Freddie Freeman, along with another former MVP, Cody Bellinger, for three first rounders over the next two drafts and Yankee’s SS prospect Ivan Wongbeefer. Wongbeefer is currently hitting .379 with 106 HRS and 212 RBIs in Triple-A for the Yonkertown Candy Apples and is currently listed as #1 on Keith Law’s Top 100 MLB Prospect List. Even still, the Dodgers fanbase is left stunned, seeing the team’s most potent bat in the middle of 13-7 run in their last 20 games. The Dodgers play 31 games in 30 days in May and will likely have to look to the farm system and a mixture of Max Muncy and Edwin Rios at first base.
