LOUTOS HEADS TO LA

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired pitcher Ryan Loutos from the St. Louis Cardinals for cash.

What does it give the Los Angeles Dodgers
Loutos adds some depth to the Dodgers pitching staff, which has dealt with many injuries to start the season. The right-handed reliever has appeared in just three MLB games (all with St. Louis in 2024), and his recent numbers in the minors aren't too impressive. Still, Loutos could earn a call up if he improves in his new organization.

What does it give the St. Louis Cardinals
Loutos was a 2021 signing by the Cardinals. He didn't do enough to earn a spot in the MLB bullpen, so St. Louis designated him for assignment before this trade. Loutos wasn't dominating in the minors either, so the Cards only got back cash rather than a player in return here.

Fantasy impact
This trade has no fantasy impact.
