Title: Boston Sends Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett & Carl Crawford To The Dodgers
Post by: MistaNova on August 25, 2012, 02:22:20 PM
Dodgers Get:
Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto

Red Sox Get:
Rubby De La Rosa, Ivan De Jesus, Jerry Sands and James Loney

Basicly Boston won't be a threat next year.

Boston is going to resign Ellsbury and probably go after Hamilton


but YES this totally fucks Boston in the short term by losing their best hitter  8)


the problem is they lose their worst pitcher in Beckett lol

Holy hell, LA is trying to join the elite spenders along with NY, Boston, PHI, etc (or maybe that was all of them).

Like the pitchers they have left are any better? People have been saying that Boston's starting rotation has been a piece of shit all season and even though Beckett's the one getting the most publicity, it takes 5 men to make up a rotation.
Still, this means more holes for the Red Sox line-up that probably won't be fixed during the off-season and their DH position next year is still in question.
I wonder...

Only difference is that LA's spending on players who (on paper) make the team look like they could squash any other team in their division.

They got four nice prospects from what I understand.

Plus they can now afford to pay Josh Hamilton whatever the hell he wants in the offseason. Boston's GM said "In order to build the team we want to build to contend, we needed to shed this salary". I'm pretty sure that more or less means just pay Josh Hamilton everything they were paying Gonzo, Crawford & Beckett lol.
