Dodgers Acquire Pitcher Connor Brogdon from Phillies
The trade involves minor league lefty Benony Robles going to Philadelphia, marking a significant move for both teams.
- Los Angeles Dodgers acquired right-handed pitcher Connor Brogdon from the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for left-handed minor league pitcher Benony Robles.
- Brogdon, designated for assignment earlier this week, joins the Dodgers after allowing six runs over two innings in three appearances for the Phillies this season.
- Robles, a 23-year-old left-hander, has shown potential with a mid-to-high 90s fastball and a mix of secondary pitches but has struggled with control.
- The Dodgers also recalled right-hander Gus Varland and designated right-hander Dinelson Lamet for assignment in other related moves.
- Brogdon's acquisition follows a period of struggle, with a drop in velocity and control issues noted since his 2022 World Series performance.
