Dodgers and Red Soxs made a massive deal
The L.A. Dodgers has been going all out to get past the San Francisco Giants by first picking up Hanley Ramirez from the Marlins and now have picked up Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and even Nick Punto.
This looks like it seriously good to happen as all four have cleared waivers and in return the Dodgers will receive Rubby De La Rosa is the center piece of it all and Red Soxs would receive James Loney along with prospects infielder Ivan De Jesus and outfielder Jerry Sands. The deal is not done yet but it make scent for both two and they have until Sunday afternoon to get it done.
For the Dodgers they really want to make the playoffs and this deal puts them with a lot more talent than the Giants who they ate two games behind and Gonzalez knows the NL West very well as he was on the Padres before heading to Boston and a change of scenery will do Josh Beckett a lot of good after last season's beer and chicken incident.
For Boston it would be a new start as it has been a disaster since rebuilding last season with Crawford just not fitting in and the fans not really warming to him as he was underperforming and injury prono. Then there is Adrian Gonzalez who phone was used to call the we do not like Valentine meeting that has been all the talk for a few weeks now and Josh Buckett just not fit the mold of a Boston Red Sox and it best off to wipe the slate clean and maybe go after Cliff Lee in the off season as it looks like the Phillies are looking to get some more offense for pitching or Mark Buehrle from the Marlins as they are truly having a fire sale and for the right price anyone with a big contract is on the table.
Lets see if it happens
