Dodgers Way Quick Hits: Julio Urias Due Back September First?
The Dodgers held off on trading multiple prospects for a top tier reliever at the trade deadline due to the multiple relievers they have returning from the DL soon. One of those arms is the prized arm of Julio Urias.
The Dodgers could have gone all in at the July 31st trade deadline and acquired a top tier reliever like Kyle Barraclough, Drew Steckenrider, or Adam Conley but the front office chose to go the unconventional route by trading for John Axford. The front office felt more comfortable waiting out the return of their disabled list arms such as Josh Fields, Tony Cingrani, and Julio Urias.
