Fans were anxiously awaiting for the Dodgers to make the huge, buzzer-beater move that would send the trade deadline into a frenzy. They did end up making a last-minute deal that will immediately impact the rotation when they sent Dustin May to the Red Sox. However, May was a semi-expected player to be moved, and the Dodgers only received prospects in return.
But where was Steven Kwan? Jhoan Duran? Maybe Pete Fairbanks, even? Where were all of those bullpen arms they were expected to buy?
All in all, the Dodgers traded five players (three major leaguers, two prospects) for seven players, including a couple of top prospects.
