Should be about equal.Most fans believe a straight swap between the two clubs is not an even trade.Gleyber Torres finished with 24 home runs and 76 RBIs last season. He has come out firing this year with two home runs, six RBIs, a .421 batting average and a 1.349 OPS.Meanwhile, J.D. Martinez is off to a so-so start with the Los Angeles Dodgers. After seven games, he has a .231/.310/.462 slash line and a .772 OPS.Torres is also verstaile enough to play in several positions. Martinez will likely be used exclusively as a DH.The Los Angeles Dodgers have lost three of their top infielders to injury this seasonGavin Lux of the Los Angeles Dodgers hits a two run double in the NLDS against the San Diego Padres at Dodger StadiumDespite the Dodgers starting 4-2, there are concerns about the depth of the lineup.The departure of two-time All-Star and World Series champion Trea Turner has left a hole in the infield. Lux was supposed to start in the shortstop position this year. Veteran Miguel Rojas was added from the Miami Marlins as cover. Both players are currently on the sidelines.The Los Angeles Dodgers will almost certainly have to dip into the market for infield cover. They possess one of the best farm systems in the country and have plenty of trading pieces. The New York Yankees could be an ideal club to negotiate with as the season progresses.
