After a nearly unprecedented June (preceded only by June of 2017) the Dodgers climbed out of the hole they were in and now find themselves neck-and-neck with the Arizona Diamondbacks for first place in the National League West. How they were able to do it is a story in and of itself—one that is always worth telling. The story that I am interested in now, however, is how the Dodgers will fare going forward.
The trade deadline is on the horizon. Last season, apart from the Yu Darvish trade, Andrew Friedman and Farhan Zaidi traded for the two Tonys—Tony Cingrani and Tony Watson.
