Back in June, Andrew Friedman foreshadowed a quiet trade deadline for the Dodgers, specifically in the realm of pitching. He cited the team's hope that their many injured starters would return between the All-Star break and the deadline, which would take some pressure off of the front office to buy starters.
Tyler Glasnow's return on July 9 helped support that argument a little, but there were still question marks hanging around Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, and Tony Gonsolin. With Shohei Ohtani having only pitched up to three innings so far, it's unclear if he's going to be a realistic postseason option.
