Dodgers Trade for Cubs RP Chris Martin, per Report

The Dodgers have acquired veteran reliever Chris Martin in a trade with the Cubs in exchange for utility player Zach McKinstry ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, according to multiple reports.

ESPN’s Buster Olney first reported Martin’s involvement in the deal, while The Athletic’s Patrick Mooney shared that McKinstry would be headed back to Chicago in the swap between National League clubs.

Martin, 36, has made 34 appearances for the Cubs in his first season with the organization after spending previous parts of his career with the Rockies, Yankees, Rangers and Braves.
