Dodgers Acquire Eric Lauer Via Trade
CONFIRMEDThe Dodgers have acquired Eric Lauer in a trade, per MLB.com staff. Earlier reports had this framed as a signing, but it came together as a trade instead. Lauer faced the Dodgers in last year’s World Series and now joins a rotation that’s been stretched thin with both Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the shelf. I like the urgency here — this front office isn’t sitting around waiting for guys to come back, and we need every arm we can get right now.
