Time continues to tick for Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman to address his roster prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. While the Dodgers have remained idle, other teams have swung trades in effort to improve for the push leading into the postseason.
By most accounts, the Dodgers’ primary focus appears to be on acquiring a left-handed reliever. The club reportedly had some interest in J.D. Martinez, whom the Detroit Tigers sent to the Arizona Diamondbacks for a modest return of three prospects.
Los Angeles to this point has most prominently been connected to Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton, Detroit Tigers closer Justin Wilson and San Diego Padres reliever Brad Hand.
