Last year, the Dodgers made perhaps the biggest move of their trade deadline right at the buzzer, when they made a deal with the Tigers to get Jack Flaherty to LA. Although Tommy Edman has become the biggest long-term win, at the time, the Dodgers were in desperate need of another starter and Edman was still rehabbing from an injury.
This year, their biggest move also involved a pitcher and also came at the last second, but this time they sent someone away. Dustin May went to the Red Sox in return for top outfield prospects James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard.
