In what figures to be the first of multiple maneuvers to improve the team’s bullpen, the Dodgers acquired pitchers Dylan Floro and Zach Neal from Cincinnati in exchange for minor league pitchers James Marinan and Aneurys Zabala. The Dodgers also received international bonus pool money in the trade.
Floro has been a useful reliever for the Reds this season, with a 2.72 ERA in 25 appearances. His peripheral numbers are less exciting: Floro has struck out 6.7 batters per nine innings while walking three batters per nine. He leans on fastballs and cutters to generate grounders.
