Dodgers Involved in Massive 3-Team Trade in Deadline Shocker

The Los Angeles Dodgers took part in a three-team trade with the Cincinnati Reds and Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday, bringing in relievers Adam Serwinowski and Paul Gervase and catcher Ben Rortvedt in exchange for catcher Hunter Feduccia.

The Rays received Feduccia and right-hander Brian Van Belle from the Cincinnati, shipping out starting pitcher Zack Littell — the main piece of the trade — to the Wild Card-hopeful Reds.

Feduccia has mostly played with Triple-A Oklahoma City since his call up in 2022. He played 291 games with the Comets, posting an .839 OPS with 33 homers during his time there. He has seven MLB appearances under his belt — two of which came this year — and is 4-for-14 in his career with an RBI.

Gervase, a right-hander, comes to the Dodgers with major league experience and could instantly insert himself into a depleted LA bullpen. All five of his MLB appearances have come this season, and he has a 4.26 ERA and six strikeouts through 6.1 innings.

The Dodgers will have to wait a little longer for the left-handed Serwinowski, who is 21 years of age and playing in High-A. Through 18 games this year, he has a 4.84 ERA in 74.1 innings pitched, and is striking out batters at an extraordinarily high rate with 92 punch outs in that time.

Rortvedt served as a backup catcher on the Rays early in the season behind Danny Jansen, however, Tampa's acquisition of Matt Thaiss saw him sent down to Triple-A on June 1.

His numbers haven't been great since his demotion — posting a .598 OPS through 19 games — though he could serve as a backup option at catcher if the Dodgers lose Will Smith or Dalton Rushing to injury over the next couple months.

Either way, he's solid catching depth for the squad.
