DODGERS BRING IN BROGDON
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher Connor Brogdon from the Philadelphia Phillies for pitcher Benony Robles.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
In Brogdon, the Dodgers add a depth right-handed reliever to their bullpen. For several seasons, Brogdon had been a reliable middle relief option for the Phillies, but he struggled to get outs in 2023. A disastrous start to the 2024 season followed, and Brogdon will now get a chance to turn it around in Los Angeles.
What does it give the Philadelphia Phillies
Brogdon had fallen out of favor in Philadelphia, who designated him for assignment before this trade. The Phillies do well to get a prospect in return for him. The 23-year-old Robles, a left-handed reliever, has shown good strikeout ability in the minor leagues, but has also struggled with his control at times.
Fantasy impact
This trade has no fantasy impact. Brogdon is unlikely to pitch in high-leverage situations, keeping him off the fantasy radar. Robles is a few years away from fantasy relevance.
