Lack of aggression as a buyer is certainly a risk. There is absolutely a world where heading into October the Dodgers wish they aimed higher at the deadline.
But they’ve shown this is how they operate. They only take calculated risks, and today they stayed fairly conservative.

The Dodger farm system right now is the same or better than it was two days ago. Not what I expected. But the Dodgers accomplished that while also filling the most necessary gaps on the big league roster (though not shooting for the stars)

If the Dodgers get/stay healthy, their roster is the best in baseball. If their superstars aren’t on the field or don’t perform anywhere near their ability, there weren’t any deadline acquisitions that would offset that. They are betting on the stars they already have to win.

The Dodgers needed help in the form of relief that could get right-handed batters out. Brock Stewart is exactly that
Righties this season are batting just .104/.178/.149 against him with a 40% strikeout rate. It’s an add that fits the needs of this bullpen extremely well

• Feduccia -> Rortvedt is not a huge difference in value to the org given Rortvedt doesn’t need a 40-man spot now
• Serwinowski could take off and become a legit starting pitching prospect (or not but worth the flyer for sure)
• Gervase is good depth relief w/ chance to grow

Hunter Feduccia was probably going to be moved this offseason anyway if Rushing was sticking around. The 40-man roster always becomes such a crunch that keeping three catchers in the offseason would’ve been tough, especially given Feduccia’s age and lack of a path to playing time

Even though they got another catcher, the Dodgers trading away Hunter Feduccia signals to me that Dalton Rushing isn’t going anywhere. Feduccia was already comfortable with the organization & worked well with Dodger pitchers. He would’ve been the better backup catcher replacement

I like this move for the Dodgers. Feduccia wasn’t going to be in a place to be in the majors as long as Smith & Rushing are around. Moving him is fine, and they got back a good southpaw SP prospect, a big strikeout depth reliever and a replacement depth catcher. Thumbs up from me
