Last December, just four days before Christmas the Dodgers fired up the hot stove and shocked Dodger fans by trading Yasiel Puig to the Cincinnati Reds. Not only did the team deal Puig away, but they also dealt Alex Wood, Kyle Farmer, and Matt Kemp away in return for a bad contract in Homer Bailey, and two prospects.
The two prospects acquired in the trade were shortstop Jeter Downs and starting pitching prospect Josiah Gray. So far, the trade already looks like a big win for the Dodgers. The Reds already released Matt Kemp after a slow start while Alex Wood has yet to pitch in a game this season and is a pending free agent to be.
