What happened: Los Angeles acquired Tarik Skubal from Detroit before the deadline. Boston acquired Adley Rutschman from Baltimore hours before Monday’s 6 p.m. cutoff.
Why it matters: Skubal joins the two-time defending World Series champions for the stretch run. Rutschman’s move sends a marquee catcher between AL East rivals.
By the numbers: Skubal is a two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner. Rutschman is a three-time All-Star.
What to watch: Their first appearances with their new clubs will begin testing two of the deadline’s biggest moves.
