Pencils down, everyone. One of the most exciting MLB trade deadlines in recent memory is over.
The Los Angeles Dodgers kept their highest-ranked prospects while adding players that can help the existing team, as well as prospects to grow in the organization.
To kick things off Wednesday evening, the Dodgers landed pitchers Adam Serwinowski and Paul Gervase and catcher Ben Rortvedt as part of a three-team trade with the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cincinnati Reds. The only player LA lost was catcher Hunter Feduccia, currently batting .290 with an .866 OPS in Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Serwinowski is an exciting southpaw pitching prospect. Standing at 6-foot-5, the 21-year-old has a 4.84 ERA across 74.1 innings of work in High-A.
Gervase is a right-handed pitcher sporting a 3.12 ERA across 40.1 Triple-A innings this season. The 25-year-old has made five appearances with the Rays this year, allowing three earned runs in the process.
Rortvedt is a catcher likely replacing Feduccia’s role as the third-string catcher for LA. The 27-year-old appeared in 19 Triple-A games this season and is hitting .183. He made 26 appearances with the Rays in 2025, drawing seven walks and collecting six RBIs while batting just .095.
On Thursday, the Dodgers landed a coveted reliever, something that had been atop their wish list for quite some time. LA acquired Brock Stewart from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for outfielder James Outman.
Stewart has a 2.38 ERA this season and is among the best in baseball in terms of generating swing and miss with a whiff percentage of 32.8 percent in the 93rd percentile of MLB. He was a former Dodgers draft pick in 2014 and spent time in a Dodgers uniform from 2016-19.
Outman will be missed, however, after being drafted by the Dodgers in 2018 and first debuting in 2022. His best season in LA was 2023, where he hit .248/.353/.437 with a .790 OPS on his way to finishing third in Rookie of the Year voting. His production has been a far cry in 2024 and 2025, batting just .137 since.
The Dodgers also acquired outfielder Alex Call from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right-handers Eriq Swan and Sean Paul Liñan. Call has an OPS+ almost 20 percent higher than league average with a mark of 119, and can play all three outfield positions.
Lastly, right-hander Dustin May was sent to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for outfield prospects James Tibbs III and Zach Ehrhard.
Tibbs is hitting .232 with 13 home runs and 39 RBIs across his 87 appearances in High-A and Double-A.
May will always be remembered for his elite stuff and pitch movement, not to mention all he had to overcome after being out since the middle of 2023 with elbow surgery and an emergency surgery for a torn esophagus, but his production was way down in 2025, throwing a 4.85 ERA in 19 appearances.
