Overview
- The trade, announced Thursday, sent right-hander Chayce McDermott to the Dodgers and 20-year-old Axel Perez to the Orioles.
- Los Angeles optioned McDermott to Triple-A Oklahoma City for work in the minors.
- The Dodgers filled an open 40-man roster spot with McDermott, so no additional move was required.
- The Orioles designated McDermott for assignment last week after poor results in the majors and at Triple-A.
- McDermott has a 12.79 ERA in five MLB games with 14 walks in 12.2 innings, and he brings one option year and 56 days of service time as the Dodgers try to harness his swing-and-miss stuff.
