DODGERS DEAL FOR ADAM KOLAREK
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher Adam Kolarek from the Tampa Bay Rays for outfielder Niko Hulsizer.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
In Kolarek, the Dodgers land a solid left-handed reliever who can be used situationaly out of the bullpen. He should help the contending Dodgers down the stretch.
What does it give the Tampa Bay Rays
In Hulsizer, the Rays acquire a 22-year-old outfielder with a bit of pop in his bat. He has struggled in the California League (high Single-A ball) this season but he has upside.
Fantasy impact
For now, there is no fantasy impact here. Kolarek should become a situational left-hander with the Dodgers, while Hulsizer has more to prove in order to become a keeper prospect.
