There had been rumors that the Dodgers would acquire left-hander Garrett Crochet (25) of the Chicago White Sox, but Flaherty was the one who eventually became the Dodgers’ arms.
ESPN, a U.S. sports media outlet, said on the 31st (Korea Standard Time), “The Los Angeles Dodgers, which leads the National League West, upgraded their starting rotation as they agreed to sign Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty just before the trade deadline passed.”
Robert Murray of “Fanside” said on the day that the Dodgers will send two promising players, Tyrone Lyranzo, who also serves as catcher and first baseman, and Trey Sweeney, a shortstop resource, to Detroit. Lyranzo is ranked eighth in the Dodgers’ prospect rankings by the “MLB Pipeline,” while Sweeney is from Los Angeles and was ranked 22nd in the Dodgers’ prospect rankings.
Flaherty made his major league debut with St. Louis in 2017 and began to stand out as a starter in 2018 with an 8-9 record and a 3.34 ERA. Flaherty, who was active in 2019 with an 11-8 record and a 2.75 ERA, went 8-9 with a 4.99 ERA, including being traded to the Baltimore Orioles during the last season, and has been consistently pitching in Detroit this year with a 7-5 record and a 2.95 ERA. Detroit signed Flaherty, who was an FA, for a year and $14 million ahead of this season.
In addition, the Dodgers also recruited outfielder Kevin Kiermaier. ESPN said that the Dodgers concluded negotiations to recruit Kiermaier, a Toronto Blue Jays outfielder. The Dodgers is known to give up left-hander Ryan Yarbrough to Toronto. Kiermaier’s performance in the Toronto Blue Jays was poor this year with a batting average of .195, four homers, 18 RBIs and five steals. However, Kiermaier is a player who receives attention for his defense capability rather than offense. He showed off his outstanding defense capability, enough to win the Gold Glove Award in the American League Outfielder category last year. He also won the Gold Glove Award in 2016 and 2019 during the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Dodgers also made triangular trades with the St. Louis Cardinals and the White Sox on Thursday last week, acquiring Tommy Edman, a Korean-based utility player, and Michael Kopech, a fastball relief pitcher. The Dodgers also focused on recruiting big-time starting pitcher Flaherty. Recently, Tyler Glasnow and Clayton Kershaw have returned from their injuries, and Walker Buehler and Bobby Miller will also return soon. However, no date has been confirmed for the return of Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who has been absent due to his shoulder injury.토토사이트 모음
Leading the National League West with 63 wins and 44 losses (winning percentage .589) in 107 games so far, the Dodgers has drawn attention for its aggressive moves by signing an FA contract with Superstar Shohei Ohtani for 10 years and 700 million dollars, Yamamoto, who played the best ace in the Japanese pro baseball league for 12 years and 325 million dollars, and Uta giant Teoscar Hernandez for a year and 23.5 million dollars in trade with Glasnow. Not enough, the Dodgers have once again expressed their strong commitment to win the World Series by actively engaging in trade ahead of the end of the trade deadline.
