Max Muncy's tenure as a full-time third baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers is under scrutiny as the team considers potential changes. After a rough season, Muncy's average has plummeted to .211 with only three home runs, raising concerns about his performance. With the Dodgers recently releasing Austin Barnes and Chris Taylor, Muncy could also be next to face a designation for assignment. The organization is reportedly eyeing Colorado Rockies' infielder Ryan McMahon, signaling that Muncy's time in Los Angeles might be nearing an end.

Muncy, who has been with the Dodgers since 2018 and has contributed to two World Series victories, faces an uncertain future as his struggles continue. Instead of simply designating him for assignment, trade talks could heat up, especially as the Dodgers assert their intentions to improve performance across the roster.
