The Dodgers are also getting right-handed reliever Michael Kopech from the White Sox while sending Miguel Vargas and two minor-league prospects to the White Sox.
After waiting until the eve of this year’s MLB trade deadline to make their first big move, the Dodgers were close to executing a complex maneuver on Monday, one expected to land them utility man Tommy Edman and relief pitcher Michael Kopech in a three-team trade with the Chicago White Sox and St. Louis Cardinals, according to a person with knowledge of the situation who wasn’t authorized to speak publicly. It was far from a blockbuster deal for the first-place but injury-plagued Dodgers.
Kopech is a hard-throwing, yet walk-prone, right-hander with a 4.74 ERA and nine saves this season. But, both players come with upside — Edman as a switch-hitter and versatile defensive option in both the infield and outfield; Kopech as a talented former first-round pick who moved to the bullpen this year after being a starter in 2022 and 2023. Both players are also under team control through the end of next season.
