The Dodgers pursued several relief pitchers at the trade deadline, including Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. Ultimately, they traded James Outman for Brock Stewart from the Twins, who had a 2.38 ERA in 39 appearances this season. The Dodgers expressed less interest in Duran and Jax, and the Twins preferred to keep them instead of trading for prospects. Stewart's acquisition is considered a win for the Dodgers, especially since it didn't involve prospect losses, despite his recent injury placement on the IL.
Brock Stewart was one of the Twins' most effective relief pitchers, posting a 2.38 ERA in 39 appearances this season.
The Dodgers were able to land Stewart without giving up any prospects, which is a win for the front office.
The Twins valued James Outman more than the prospects who were discussed in potential trades with the Dodgers.
Despite the fireballer being under team control through the 2027 season, the Phillies' trade for Duran wasn't the exorbitant cost many anticipated.
