The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs were among the most active teams prior to the MLB trade deadline. <\/p>\n
The Dodgers made the biggest move on the trade market by landing Tarik Skubal for a trio of prospects on Saturday. <\/p>\n
The Cubs and others answered the Dodgers’ move with trades in the final 12 hours before the 6 p.m. ET trade deadline.<\/p>\n
Chicago, who leads the National League wild-card standings, landed Kevin Gausman and Clay Holmes to the top of its rotation. <\/p>\n
The Padres, who always seem to be active at the deadline, made some waves in the NL as well on Monday. They acquired Robbie Ray from San Francisco and Casey Mize from Detroit. <\/p>\n
The starting pitchers that didn’t move were also the story of Monday’s trade deadline. Jacob deGrom opted to stay put in with the Texas Rangers instead of waiving his no-trade clause. <\/p>\n
Atlanta, the NL East leader, missed out on the frenzy involving the top starting pitchers. <\/p>\n
Adley Rutschman was the biggest hitter moved on deadline day from the Baltimore Orioles to the Boston Red Sox. <\/p>\n
The trade showed off Boston’s ambition to contend and also marked the end of an era in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox, Dodgers, Cubs and others will now shift their full focus to the pennant races with two months remaining in the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs were among the most active teams prior to the MLB trade…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":845084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[435],"tags":[49,48,462,82],"class_list":["post-845083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mlb","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-mlb","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=845083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/845083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/845084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=845083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=845083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=845083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
