After staying quiet for most of the offseason, Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman essentially remodeled the entire roster over the past week with a pair of trades.
The big move, of course, was a blockbuster trade with the Boston Red Sox to send Mookie Betts and David Price to L.A. It originally was set to be a three-team trade with the Minnesota Twins, but the Red Sox had issues with the medicals of Twins pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol, which put things on hold.
After a few more days of negotiating, the Dodgers were able to complete the deal with the Red Sox, and then also a second trade with the Twins to acquire the hard-throwing Graterol for themselves.
