My favorite overall deadline move would probably be the May trade, with the Feduccia one being a close second. Both value plays that I wouldn’t have expected to be possible

The reason they stayed conservative is that there’s also a world where everyone is healthy and some of their stars who haven’t looked like themselves turn things around. And I don’t think that world, or something close to it, is very far fetched

You don’t win the deadline by improving your farm system unless you’re a seller, so the Dodgers did not win this deadline. They won’t grab headlines either. But they made some damn good moves that have a good chance to look like wins moving into the future

So basically the Dodgers got ahead of this move and picked up some solid value in return. If you asked me before this move what the Dodgers could’ve gotten purely from shopping Feduccia by himself, I would not have said a 3-for-1 with a couple intriguing arms and his replacement

Nothing’s ever a guarantee at the deadline and all that but this is just what came to my mind with Feduccia moving
