Although the Los Angeles Dodgers were connected to multiple possibilities at the 2020 MLB trade deadline, in the end they elected to trim into their pitching depth by trading Ross Stripling to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for two players to be named later.
Half of the Dodgers’ return was revealed to be Kendall Williams, who was selected by the Blue Jays in the second round of the 2019 MLB Draft. Although Stripling was part of trade speculation earlier this year as part of a deal agreed to in principle with the L.A. Angels, the transaction still came as somewhat of a surprise.
