He was going to be one of our outfield regulars, but now he's the main piece going to the Red Sox in the Mookie Betts / David Price trade -- likely to be considered the Dodgers biggest trade in franchise history.
As you already know, the Dodgers have apparently pulled off a caper of monumental proportions. It's a deal that is befuddling due to the stars involved. After all, why would you ever consider sending away the second best ballplayer in the game? Not only that, we basically got him and an All-Star hurler for a top prospect and two other farmhands who seemingly were blocked at every level.
From what has been reported recently (keep in mind it has not yet been confirmed by either club), the Dodgers are getting right-fielder
Mookie Betts and former Cy Young winner
David Price from the Red Sox for outfielder
Alex Verdugo, prospect infielder
Jeter Downs and catching prospect
Connor Wong. On top of that, Boston is paying half of Price's salary.
Wow!
This is why you and I are not GM's and Andrew Friedman is.
