SAN DIEGO —
Home run?
That was more like a jam-shot single.
The Dodgers might not have struck out Tuesday, which was a very real possibility considering the market conditions. With limited options, they managed to improve their team.
But their most significant problems entering the trade deadline remain their most significant problems now.
Their rotation is still fragile, even after the acquisition of Jack Flaherty. Their situation at shortstop is still unsettled, even after the trade for Tommy Edman. Their lineup is still top-heavy, even after the addition of Amed Rosario.
