The Los Angeles Dodgers have held onto their lead in the competitive National League West division but after a loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday, manager Dave Roberts has sounded an alarm.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers weigh potential deadline deals to improve their roster, they don't want to subtract from the MLB club to do so if they can avoid it.

Two of the most significant updates involve left-handed pitcher Blake Snell and infielder Max Muncy, both of whom are trending in the right direction and could rejoin the team soon.

May isn’t going to be a key component — or a component at all — in any trade where the Dodgers pry a top reliever like Emmanuel Clase, Ryan Helsley or Jhoan Duran away from their current teams.
