The Los Angeles Dodgers have made a major splash just before the MLB trade deadline.
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, the Dodgers acquired both outfielder Josh Reddick and starting pitcher Rich Hill in a deal with the Oakland A’s.

Hill is 9-3 this season with a 2.25 ERA. The left-hander has not pitched since July 17 because of a hand injury, but he was expected to return this week.
By acquiring Josh Reddick, the Dodgers could be giving a strong indication that they are serious about trying to move Yasiel Puig. Several others teams were said to be interested in Reddick, who is batting an impressive .296 this season with a .368 on-base percentage.
