I grant that injuries have been a factor, but there hasn't been much from Headley for quite some time now.
I'd rather deal Greg Holland to the Dodgers for Joc Pederson, but I doubt they'll do that now.

Andre Ehtier has three years left on a big deal (that would require them to either eat big money or give him away)
Carl Crawford has three year left on a deal that probably makes him untradeable unless someone big gets desperate (that basically leaves the Yankees, who have a younger and better version of him in Ellsbury)
Yasiel Puig is a legitimate superstar talent and young and cheap. He's a franchise cornerstone.
Matt Kemp has 5 years left on a huge deal that puts him in the same boat as Ethier.
They also have a long-term option at 1B in Adrian Gonzalez.
There's really nowhere for Pederson to go anytime soon, and they'd get a much, much bigger return for him than for any of those other guys.
If I'm the Royals, I'd be willing to talk Greg Holland or Wade Davis for him. Would give the Dodgers a lights-out guy at the end of the pen, something they really don't have right now (Jansen has been very hittable this year and really only has one pitch right now).
