- Dodgers Announce Trade With Phillies After Edwin Diaz Update
The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a 4-0 win over the New York Mets , with contributions across the roster. Amid the momentum, the team completed a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies , acquiring right-handed pitcher Griff McGarry in exchange for international pool money, according to the Dodgers' X account.
The move is aimed at bolstering bullpen depth and providing additional innings as the season progresses. McGarry is expected to report to Triple-A initially but could work his way up to the majors. The trade follows ongoing developments involving Edwin Díaz (h/t Jack Harris of the California Post).

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the team will be cautious with Díaz and evaluate him day to day, emphasizing there are no injury concerns. Díaz was dominant for the Mets last season, appearing in 62 games with a 1.63 ERA, a 0.87 WHIP and 98 strikeouts over 66.1 innings. This season with the Dodgers, he has not matched that production, posting a 6.00 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP with 10 strikeouts in six innings across six appearances. The sample size remains small, making it too early to draw firm conclusions about his trajectory.
Meanwhile, McGarry has a 9.00 ERA and a 2.50 WHIP through five games in the minors this season, but still offers developmental upside. He was originally selected by the Texas Rangers in the 31st round of the 2017 MLB Draft but did not sign, then was selected by the Phillies in the fifth round of the 2021 draft.
