The Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone, and one of the more active teams was the Los Angeles Dodgers.
They began during the All-Star break by acquiring Manny Machado from the Baltimore Orioles, and then they completed two more trades on Tuesday just minutes before the deadline.
One of them was to acquire Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier, who they have been linked to for a couple years now, and the other was for Toronto Blue Jays reliever John Axford.
Dozier was able to catch on a flight from Minnesota on Tuesday afternoon and joined the Dodgers during their game against the Milwaukee Brewers, although he was not in the lineup and an opportunity didn’t arise for him to pinch-hit or enter off the bench.
