What happened: Yahoo Sports says Chicago checked in on Reid Detmers in July to add starting pitching. Los Angeles kept the left-hander after the sides could not bridge the ask.

Why it matters: Chicago spent July shopping for rotation depth for the stretch run. Keeping Detmers preserved a young left-handed starter for Los Angeles.

What to watch: Watch whether Los Angeles re-engages on Detmers this winter. Chicago still profiles as a rotation shopper.
