Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman addressed the team's plans as the trade deadline approaches. After acquiring Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers, Friedman indicated that while trade discussions continue, adding to the big-league roster is less likely. The Dodgers aim to improve their minor-league depth, particularly in pitching, and are prepared to trade outfield prospects to achieve this goal. Prospects like Edgardo Quintero may be potential trade candidates, while key players Josue De Paula and Mike Sirota are unlikely to move this deadline.
