The Los Angeles Dodgers have made strategic trades to acquire pitchers Chayce McDermott from the Baltimore Orioles and Griff McGarry, previously with the Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies. Both players are being brought in to enhance the Dodgers' pitching depth, particularly as injuries are common during the season. McDermott, despite a 12.79 ERA in his major league appearances, is noted for his impressive pitch arsenal, including a splitter and four-seam fastball. His command, however, is rated poorly at 30 out of 80 on FanGraphs. The Dodgers are optimistic about their ability to improve his command. Similarly, McGarry, who has elite spin metrics but has struggled with command, was once a highly regarded prospect. The Dodgers' successful history of developing pitchers gives them hope that both McDermott and McGarry can contribute meaningfully in the future.
