Dodgers President Stan Kasten said he welcomes expectations that the team’s new ownership group will finance significant moves at the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline.

“I promise you we’ll explore everything,” Kasten said. “Look, as candid as we can be, we’re the Dodgers. We’re supposed to be big. We intend to be big. Will we look at big things? You bet.”

Kasten maintained the Dodgers have the financial flexibility to add to their payroll. He lamented that the organization doesn’t have more top-tier prospects who would be attractive trade pieces.

“I wish we were deeper in that regard,” Kasten said. “But if the resources involve money, we’ll be very flexible.”

In fact, Kasten said he would prefer to take on a greater percentage of an incoming player’s salary if it means they can acquire him for lesser prospects.
