It’s getaway day. It’s rubber match day. But let’s be real, it’s trade deadline day. #HugWatch is on high alert, as first pitch is 50 minutes before the 1 p.m. deadline. And remember, there’s no waiver trade deadline this year, so this is it.

This thread is going to be light on info, as we haven’t seen any Dodger trades just yet. But rest assured when they make a deal — and they will — we’ll have it covered.

I will leave you with my gut feeling/prediction for the day.

The emergence of Matt Beaty makes moving Pederson easier. Think they fix Tyler Thornburg and he becomes the second “acquired” reliever to add to the bullpen next month.

We’ll see what actually happens. I really want Felipe Vazquez in a Dodger uniform, even if it costs Keibert Ruiz and more.

And here’s a piece of news we all knew was coming.

The Dodgers have activated RHP Dylan Floro from the 10-day injured list and optioned RHP Tony Gonsolin to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Welcome back, Dylan Floro. And if he isn’t traded, Tony Gonsolin will be back — hopefully sooner rather than later.
