The Dodgers missed out on Juan Soto. That much seems certain at this point. The Nationals’ superstar was dealt to the Padres this morning and despite a hold-up in the trade, it looks like it has gone through officially. Naturally, Andrew Friedman and his front office had to pivto somewhere else.
As it turns out, they pivoted to a reclamation project of sorts. The Dodgers have reportedly landed Joey Gallo in a trade with the New York Yankees. That send‘s the lefty slugger to LA in his final year before hitting free agency.
The deal for Gallo is an odd one for the Dodgers.
