In a blockbuster trade that shook the baseball world, the Boston Red Sox have sent reigning MVP Mookie Betts and pitcher David Price to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The deal, which was announced on Monday night, is a major acquisition for the Dodgers, who have been seeking a game-changer this offseason.
Details of the Trade
The Dodgers acquired Betts and Price in exchange for outfielder Alex Verdugo, pitcher Brusdar Graterol, and a top prospect, outfielder Jeter Downs. The Red Sox also agreed to pay $48 million of Price's contract, making the deal more palatable for Los Angeles.
