The Los Angeles Dodgers reinforced their place as the favorite to win the National League in 2020 on Monday night when they completed a megadeal that allowed them to acquire outfielder Mookie Betts and LHP David Price from the Boston Red Sox.

The Philadelphia Phillies, meanwhile, still appear to be a bubble playoff team, whether that means competing for the National League East or one of the two Wild Card spots.

Of note is that Bob Nightengale of USA Today says that with Betts off the market, another former MVP has shifted to the forefront of the trade market – Kris Bryant.
