The Dodgers emerged as the clear winners at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline by landing ace pitcher Tarik Skubal, the prize of the deadline, without losing any major-league talent or decimating their farm system. They also added low-risk, high-reward options like injured Royals starter Kris Bubic and catcher reinforcements to address potential injuries to Will Smith and Dalton Rushing. goldparty.lat
