Right before the MLB trade deadline passed on Wednesday afternoon, the Tampa Bay Rays traded former Maryland pitcher Adam Kolarek to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The Dodgers have acquired LHP Adam Kolarek from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for minor league outfielder Niko Hulsizer.

Kolarek joins a Dodgers team that has the best record in all of baseball at 71-39, and they currently hold a 15-game lead in the National League West. There are still two months to go until the playoffs in which anything can happen, but Los Angeles is currently the favorite to win the pennant and head back to the World Series for the third year in a row.
