We all knew the Dodgers were looking to add a reliever. We just didn't expect it to be John Axford. As you likely know by now, in addition to the trade deadline deal that brought us Brian Dozer earlier today, we are also adding right-handed reliever John Axford from Toronto. In exchange we sent the Blue Jays a right-handed prospect named Corey Cropping.
Per a Dodgers press release:
The Los Angeles Dodgers today acquired right-handed pitcher John Axford from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for minor league right-hander Corey Copping.
