The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired left-handed relief pitcher Garrett Cleavinger as part of a three-team trade involving the Philadelphia Phillies and Tampa Bay Rays. Cleavinger was added to the Dodgers’ 40-man roster, which now sits at 38 players.
The Dodgers traded Minor League infielder Dillon Paulson and a player to be named later or cash considerations to the Rays as part of the deal. Tampa Bay sent José Alvarado to Philadelphia as the final piece of the three-team trade.
Cleavinger was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the third round of the 2015 MLB Draft. In July 2017, he was traded along with Hyun Soo Kim and cash considerations to the Phillies in exchange for Jeremy Hellickson.
