AXFORD NOW A DODGER Tuesday, July 31, 2018
The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher John Axford from the Toronto Blue Jays for pitcher Corey Copping.
What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers?
In Axford, the Dodgers add a former closer who should help the club in middle relief down the stretch. He is a decent veteran addition here.
What does it give the Toronto Blue Jays?
Copping is a 24-year-old right-hander who can be a decent bullpen option for Toronto, though he has no experience in MLB to date.
Fantasy Impact
Axford may get a few holds, but his days of fantasy stardom are long over. As for Copping, he may become part of the fantasy landscape if the Blue Jays recall him at some point in 2018.
