Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Monday that the Dodgers agreed to acquire 26‑year‑old right‑hander Seth Halvorsen from the Colorado Rockies in a deal that had not yet been formally announced by either club.
- Halvorsen is on the 15‑day injured list for right shoulder inflammation and began a rehab appearance at Triple‑A Albuquerque, and the Dodgers plan to option him to Triple‑A Oklahoma City to continue his recovery.
- Halvorsen offers elite fastball velocity—regularly near 99–100+ mph—but has struggled with command and home runs in parts of three MLB seasons, producing a career 4.31 ERA and a high walk rate.
- Colorado will receive right‑hander Nick Frasso, a 27‑year‑old Triple‑A reliever who has yet to reach the majors, and 22‑year‑old outfielder Landyn Vidourek, a recent third‑round pick who is in Single‑A.
- The trade is a low‑risk, depth‑focused move by the Dodgers to address bullpen needs before the deadline and gives the Rockies two prospects as they add organizational depth under new GM Josh Byrnes.
