The Dodgers did not get Justin Verlander or Eduardo Rodriguez (or any other pitchers previously mentioned) at the trade deadline. It wasn't entirely their fault though as Rodriguez rejected a trade to the Dodgers, and Verlander seemingly forced his way to Houston. The Dodgers did get a pitcher in Ryan Yarbrough, who could contribute in the regular season but doesn't raise the floor too much for October, at least right now. Lastly, the Dodgers beat the A's and Lance Lynn had a solid debut with a 7-inning performance.
