The Los Angeles Dodgers are facing challenges this season, particularly with Max Muncy, who is struggling to maintain his performance. With a batting average of just .173, Muncy has shown signs of improvement recently, including three walks and a hit in two games against the Pirates. Rumors speculate a possible trade, but insider Bob Nightengale believes Muncy will remain with the team through next season as his contract includes a $10 million option. Given his past performances, including multiple 30-plus home run seasons, the Dodgers hope he can find his stride again.
