This year, with the front office insistent on wanting to keep the roster constructed over the offseason, it was a relatively quiet deadline for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers addressed their two main issues\u2014 the bullpen and outfield\u2014 by bringing back Brock Stewart in a deal with the\u00a0Minnesota Twins\u00a0and improved their outfield depth by trading for\u00a0Washington Nationals\u00a0outfielder Alex Call. As a result, James Outman was dealt to Minnesota in return, while the struggling Dustin May will now look to salvage his season with the\u00a0Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p id=\"kzHrIX\">Here are some reactions from around the baseball world to the Dodgers trade deadline moves.<\/p>\n<p id=\"qC2J9N\">The addition of Brock Stewart not only gives the Dodgers a high end relief option against right-handed hitting, but brings home the return of pitcher that spent parts of his first four seasons with the team.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5Eiy6N\">Stewart spoke with\u00a0David Vassegh of KLAC AM 570\u00a0during the Dodgers home series against the Twins about his journey from MLB castoff into becoming a star reliever and now the Dodgers\u2019 newest bullpen addition.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"QI3e7V\"><em>\u201cIt was Covid summer, and I had a barbecue over at our house with some friends. A friend of a friend came over, and her boyfriend\u2019s name was named Ben Brewster.
