Since the hot stove has been on the chilly side in Boston, here's my question :
Should the Red Sox consider trading Betts and Price to the Dodgers?
The Dodgers have been bridesmaids in the postseason for quite a while. The big name free agents are off the board. There's no one left that could be considered a big splash. The Kluber trade would seem to free up money for the Indians to lock up Lindor. There is rumored interest in Price.
The return wouldn't be overwhelming given the amount of money involved. However, it would free up a significant amount of salary and would give a boost to the weak farm system.
A lot of this hinges on whether you are of the mind that Mookie is still in play long term or if he is likely to walk.
From the Dodgers side, would they be willing to take on that much salary to make a run in 2020 and what prospects would they be willing to part with?
