The Dodgers are open to the idea of trading Andre Ethier, according to sources.

Los Angeles signed Ethier to a five-year, $85 million contract extension during the 2012 season.

The Dodgers took on a ton of salary at midseason when they acquired Hanley Ramirez in a trade with the Marlins and Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett in a deal with the Red Sox.
