After waiting until the eve of this year’s MLB trade deadline to make their first big move, the Dodgers executed a complex maneuver on Monday — landing utility man Tommy Edman and relief pitcher Michael Kopech in a three-team trade with the Chicago White Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation who weren’t authorized to speak publicly.
It was far from a blockbuster deal for the first-place but injury-plagued Dodgers. Edman is a career .265 hitter who has yet to play this year because of an offseason wrist surgery and an ankle sprain.
