The Dodgers lost to the San Diego Padres, 6-5 in 10 innings. The bullpen squandered another lead. (The Dodgers led, 5-0, after the first inning.) The bad news: the Padres moved to within 5.5 games of first place in the National League West.
The good news? Today is Kershaw Day.
In case you missed any of Tuesday’s trade deadline action, here are the stories that will get you caught up:
Dodgers to Acquire Jack Flaherty in Blockbuster Trade With Tigers
The Dodgers’ starting rotation is set to receive a major boost with the acquisition of Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers. This trade is hailed as a blockbuster, as Flaherty carries a stellar 2.95 ERA and 133 strikeouts this season, significantly enhancing the Dodgers’ pitching arsenal.
Dodgers Acquire Kevin Kiermaier From Toronto Blue Jays
The Dodgers have strengthened their outfield by acquiring four-time Gold Glove winner Kevin Kiermaier from the Toronto Blue Jays. This move aims to enhance the team’s defense in center field, which has been a point of concern this season. In exchange, left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough heads to Toronto.
Dodgers’ Potential Trade Deadline Target Heading to Pirates
In a twist of events, outfielder Bryan De La Cruz, previously linked to the Dodgers, was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates. This move comes as the Dodgers had shown interest in bolstering their outfield options; Kiermaier was their only outfield addition ahead of the deadline.
Dodgers Miss Out on Tanner Scott as Padres Make Surprise Move
The Dodgers lost the bidding war for left-handed reliever Tanner Scott ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. The highly sought-after Marlins closer was acquired by the San Diego Padres for a haul of prospects. This development strengthens a division rival’s bullpen and could have implications down the stretch.
Recently Traded Dodgers Reliever Sent from Yankees to Astros
Caleb Ferguson was traded from the New York Yankees to the Houston Astros on Tuesday. This movement follows a less than stellar performance by Ferguson with the Yankees, who began his career with the Dodgers organization and helped the team win the 2020 World Series.
Former Dodgers Reliever Claimed Off Waivers by AL East Team
Yohan Ramírez, who went 0-5 out of the Dodgers’ bullpen before he was designated for assignment last week, has been claimed off waivers by the Boston Red Sox. The right-hander heads East, hoping to stabilize his turbulent season.
