Per MLBTR -- Ethier, 31, is hitting .267/.355/.385 on the season in 155 plate appearances. He has over $10MM in remaining salary this year, plus another $70MM for 2014-17. The contract, signed in June of last year, isn't looking so great at the moment given Ethier's power drought. Moving Ethier makes sense this summer if the Dodgers drop completely out of contention, with outfielders Yasiel Puig and Joc Pederson waiting in the wings. A top 100 prospect seems unlikely, but the Dodgers could focus on moving 60% or more of the contract, depending on how Ethier is playing in two months. They could also try for a bad contract swap, though I haven't found a good matchup yet.
