Dodgers Win Deadline With Skubal Acquisition

The Dodgers made the splashiest move of the deadline by landing Skubal, the best player available. They also added depth with a low-risk move for injured Royals starter Kris Bubic and catcher reinforcements while Will Smith and Dalton Rushing are sidelined.

Other notable moves included the Red Sox trading for Adley Rutschman, the Cubs overhauling their pitching staff with Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes, and the Angels making meaningful moves to restock their farm system. The Brewers and Braves were criticized for not addressing their needs for more star talent. esporist.com
