The Dodgers are reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire left-handed pitcher Danny Duffy from the Royals, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, marking their first move ahead of the trade deadline.
Duffy, 32, is currently on the injured list with a flexor strain but is expected to return, according to Passan. The 11-year veteran has no-trade protection he's expected to waive to join a World Series contender in Los Angeles.
Duffy, who debuted for Kansas City in 2011, was the longest tenured Royal and was a key rotation member for the franchise's World Series-winning team in 2015.
