Dodgers' deadline haul only starting to bear fruit

Dodgers pitcher Alex Wood can’t become a free agent until 2020, but his wish came true five years early. “If there was one team that I would want to go play for, it was here,” said Wood, who was traded from the Braves to the Dodgers on Thursday. “I told my agent if there was ever a team I wanted to play for in free agency it was the Los Angeles Dodgers. ... My first road appearance in the big leagues was here. Then, obviously, when we came here in the playoffs in 2013. I just like the atmosphere, the fans.
