While the Los Angeles Dodgers completed a blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox just before the start of Spring Training to acquire a former MVP in Mookie Betts and Cy Young Award winner in David Price, it did come at a cost.
The Dodgers gave up two of their top prospects in the trade in Jeter Downs and Connor Wong, as well as outfielder Alex Verdugo, who was coming off a solid rookie campaign in 2019 and has a bright future ahead at just 24 years of age.
Verdugo showed Red Sox fans just what he is capable of on Friday night, hitting two opposite-field home runs over the Green Monster and then robbing a home run in the ninth inning to help secure a 5-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.
