Sometimes it's the little moves that can have an outsized impact. The Los Angeles Dodgers had a quiet trade deadline on all fronts. Perhaps the club's highest profile acquisition was reuniting with reliever Brock Stewart in a trade with the Minnesota Twins, a moderate effort to fix a struggling bullpen.
Of course, Stewart went on to do what most pitchers do once they don Dodger Blue and headed to the IL. Lost in that particular shuffle was the trade Los Angeles made with the Tampa Bay Rays to acquire depth catcher Ben Rortvedt, which could have a far larger impact on the Dodgers' fate.
