Everyone expected Dodgers to have an active trade deadline, but July 30 came and went quietly for LA's front office. They only traded for two players who were immediately added to the 26-man roster (Alex Call and Brock Stewart) and only gave up three major leaguers who didn't have much of a future in the organization anyway (Hunter Feduccia, James Outman, and Dustin May).
Bob Nightengale reported a few days later that the Dodgers were in very serious discussions with the Guardians for left fielder Steven Kwan, but they couldn't make it happen before the deadline.
