Despite Andrew Friedman's allusions to the contrary on Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers ended up making more moves during Monday's trade deadline.
After trading for Tarik Skubal on Saturday night, the Dodgers found themselves with no other pressing needs over 48 hours before Monday's deadline. Rather, Friedman pursued marginal additions, two of which just so happened to be catchers that he's familiar with: Ben Rortvedt and Hunter Feduccia.
The Dodgers re-acquired Rortvedt from the New York Mets in exchange for right-handed pitcher Chayce McDermott, who had been designated for ******* ignment on July 31. With Will Smith still working his way back from a neck injury and Dalton Rushing heading to the injured list with a mild right elbow strain after being scratched from the lineup on Sunday, depth behind the plate suddenly became a priority.
