The Dodgers did trade for a two-time All-Star outfielder at the deadline, it just wasn’t Washington Nationals superstar Juan Soto. The San Diego Padres pulled off a massive trade for Soto, as LA went out and grabbed struggling lefty-slugger Joey Gallo from the New York Yankees.
Dodgers fans weren’t exactly enthused about losing out on Soto and settling for Gallo. The two-time Texas Rangers All-Star is hitting .159 this year and continues to strikeout at a prolific rate.
That being said, one of Gallo’s new teammates, Hanser Alberto, has all the confidence in the world that the Dodgers organization will make Gallo their latest successful reclamation project.
