Pederson migth get something- might only get like 5 million in arbitration.... And of course with that- he'd be the one that they'd besides Bellinger want to keep the most.

But the big guys- Hill, Wood, Puig, and Kemp obviously- I just don't see it. Not without getting something dreck in return.

But that isn't the point of contention. Buster Olney said, why would anyone want those guys? I contend that plenty of teams would want them. They wouldn't want to give up much to get them, but I'm sure the Dodgers wouldn't be asking for much.

Wood is estimated to get $9 million in arbitration for 2019 -- a reasonable price for a contending team looking for a one year rental.

Hill is under contract for $18 million for 2019. He's probably worth about as much as Wood for next year, so the Dodgers might have to pay half his salary as part of a trade.

But I contend there are guys on the free agent market similar to those guys that would cost less money, AND wouldn't require trading something back in return.
Hill in particular given his injury history- hasn't thrown more than 135 innings since 2007. Also his ERA/FIP went from in 2017 3.32/3.72 to 3.66/3.97. So not trending well....
