The best trade the Dodgers almost made was the ill-fated deal to acquire Eduardo Rodriguez, which fell apart when Rodriguez nixed it with his limited no-trade clause. Lance Lynn, 36, and Joe Kelly, 35, give them experience, but both are in decline, and the Dodgers gave up a solid pitching prospect, Nick Nastrini, in that trade. They picked up a couple of shortstops in Amed Rosario and Kiké Hernández, but both are more extra players for me.
added solid depth in their trades with the Pirates and Marlins: Ji Man Choi and Garrett Cooper can platoon at DH and both should help the bottom third of their lineup when they’re matched up properly against opposing pitchers. The best move the Padres made was landing Barlow from the Royals, especially if they can get him back to last year’s form. I also think Rich Hill will be invaluable as a fifthColorado Rockies• Acquired RHP Jake Madden and LHP Mason Albright from Angels for 1B C.J.
The Rockies were wheeling-and-dealing at this trade deadline, getting younger and cheaper, while adding seven pitching prospects to their system. Overall, excellent returns for what they gave up. I especially liked the pitchers they got from the Angels for C.J. Cron and Randal Grichuk: Jake Madden and Mason Albright are both clearly top-20 type prospects, which is strong value for a couple of veteran rentals.
