BOSTON: Adley Rutschman was all smiles for the Baltimore Orioles during a game at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox on April 10, 2024.

The Los Angeles Dodgers got the top name dealt at the MLB 2026 Trade Deadline in pitcher Tarik Skubal. The best ballclub money could buy got better.
Once the Dodgers acquired the two-time Cy Young Award winner, others scrambled to keep pace. The big question is if the blizzard of moves will really help a team: (A.) get to the playoffs and (B.) make a run at keeping the Dodger Dynamo from winning a third consecutive World Series.
The Boston Red Sox got all-star catcher Adley Rutschman hours before the deadline in a six-player blockbuster with the Baltimore Orioles. That was after Robbie Ray, a Cy Young winner in 2021, went from the San Francisco Giants to the San Diego Padres – a surprise to Internet readers who thought he went to the Cleveland Guardians.
It got so hectic that mid-afternoon deals were erroneously reported. One national sports outlet for a half hour wrongly had Ray going to Cleveland on its' website. The Los Angeles Angels did not deal lefty Reid Detmers to the Chicago Cubs as reported by some. Instead, right-hander Ryan Zeferzahn went from L.A. to Chicago in a deal that included Mason McGwire, son of former slugging star Mark McGwire.
