As the dust settles from what felt like a month long saga that ends with the Dodgers trading for Mookie Betts and David Price, we can maybe, finally take stock of what has happened in the world of Dodgers baseball.
What is clear is that this trade is going to have lasting ramifications all over the baseball world, and not just in Los Angeles. Arguably the second best player in baseball was traded from the only team he only knew due to ‘money constraints’. Betts did not want to be traded from Boston, but he did want to test free agency, which as a top tier player who has waited his whole career, is exceptionally within his rights to do so.
