After all the Juan Soto buildup, the Dodgers largely stood pat at the MLB trade deadline. San Diego wound up trading for the Nationals superstar, sending multiple top prospects and Luke Voit in exchange for Josh Bell and Soto. LA appeared to be kicking the tires on trades for Marlins starter Pablo Lopez and (or) Cubs outfielder Ian Happ. Instead, team president Andrew Friedman and general manager Brandon Gomes made some moves around the margin.
The Dodgers sent pitching prospect Clayton Beeter to the Yankees for struggling two-time All-Star Joey Gallo, shipped pitcher Mitch White to the Blue Jays for prospects, and sent Jake Lamb to the Mariners for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
