Dodgers trade deadline takeaways: Landing an impact starter, the 3-team deal and more

SAN DIEGO — The Los Angeles Dodgers made a last-minute trade before the deadline to acquire pitcher Jack Flaherty from the Detroit Tigers. Flaherty, who was once considered one of the best pitchers in baseball, has had a strong season with a 2.95 ERA in 18 starts. The Dodgers hope Flaherty can strengthen their pitching staff for the upcoming playoffs. The Dodgers also made a separate trade, acquiring Tommy Edman and Michael Kopech in a three-team swap. The team now has several options for their defensive lineup.
