With less than a week to go before MLB’s trade deadline, the Dodgers and Guardians have decided there’s no time like the present.
Los Angeles is acquiring shortstop Amed Rosario in exchange for starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard, the teams announced on Wednesday. The move was first reported by Inside the Mets‘s Pat Ragazzo. The Dodgers are also sending cash to Cleveland as part of the deal.
The move addresses areas of need for both clubs. The Dodgers have been in need of quality infielders all year following the season-ending injury to Gavin Lux during spring training. Los Angeles already added depth by acquiring veteran utility player Kiké Hernández from the Red Sox on Tuesday.
