The Los Angeles Dodgers front office made a big splash just before Monday’s non-waiver trade deadline, as they reportedly completed a trade with the Texas Rangers to acquire starting pitcher Yu Darvish.
In exchange, the Dodgers are sending three Minor Leaguers to the Rangers in second baseman Willie Calhoun, pitcher A.J. Alexy and infielder Brendon Davis.
Darvish gives the Dodgers another bonafide ace to slide behind Clayton Kershaw in the rotation, although it could just be for the remainder of the season and playoffs as he is set to become a free agent this winter.
