It was a quiet MLB trade deadline for the Los Angeles Dodgers, as most of their efforts were reportedly spent trying to complete a blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Guardians that would have landed them All-Star outfielder Steven Kwan. The failed Kwan trade notwithstanding, it seemed that most of the Dodgers' focus was on their pitching staff getting healthy.
At the center of that focus was the return of Blake Snell, who made his first start since April with the Dodgers last weekend. While Snell appeared to be shaking off the rust during his three-run outing against the Tampa Bay Rays last week, he was dominant on Saturday in his start against the Toronto Blue Jays.
