    ^^^^^this is part of a 3 team trade that also involves the Minnesota Twins. LA Dodgers send RHP
    Kenta Maeda to the Twins for RHP Brusdar Graterol who in turn was shipped to the Boston Red Sox
    along with OF Alex Verdugo.

    I wonder how many Boston fans are jumping into the Charles River with this news!

    "Phase one in which Doris gets her oats"... and the Bums come up short ... again-!!
    Phase two in which the Mook turns into Matt Kemp before he turns into a pumpkin-!!

    The Mook's arrival in LA assures the Bums 2b odds on favorites to win the NL Pennant, or so I've heard. Ntm- the Mook knows how to bang on trash cans in the tunnel.
    The Mook's going to be one helluva expensive pumpkin, IF the Bums seek to lock him up, in this last year b4 Free Agency.

    Sounds like the Bosox are going to eat 1/2 of Price's 96 Million owed to him for the next 3 years. Call him CK-II, and the over-rated southpaw duo. That makes Price half the pitcher they think he is-!!

    The Bosox choose to save money and avoid the luxury tax, over wins?? To further back up this claim, prices will rise for 2020 in Feng-shui Fenway.

    ....^^^^ X-2: Here's a Classic Bosox Beat Writer's Opinion-

    "This trade is a disgrace for the Red Sox and for the league. I don’t understand why the owner of such a prestigious ball club—a de facto public institution—would charge his baseball operations department with ridding the team of a once-in-a-generation player when he could keep that player and continue to rake in unspendable profits. It’s such a mind-bogglingly greedy and self-defeating move that I resent being made to try to understand it."

    "It’s been 100 seasons since the Red Sox sold their best player in such a transparent cash grab. If there’s any justice, they’ll have another 86 years to regret it."

    Betts & Price to the Dodgers! Credit to Boston in a sense that they seem to find ways to deal the high priced help.Though Boston fans may "go down to the river" over Betts,Dodger fans will hope they are not seeing 2020 versions of Carl Crawford in double.

    that was exactly what I was thinking, another huge salary dump by the Sox onto the Dodgers. Big difference though is Betts is still young and injury free compared to Crawford. Price and Beckett are very comparable.

    Per Harold Reynolds during the ALCS Stanton was "ready to play"

    Per Harold Reynolds today Los Andgels
    es Dodgers are "baseballs best"

    Did not believe him on count 1, disagree with him on count 2.

    Now entering my 65th year as a Yankee Fan I say fuck both the Dodgers and Red Sox

    I'd rather have a Sister who works in a whorehouse than be a Sox fan.

    ...no wait, I'd rather have ANOTHER Sister who works in a whorehouse than be a Sox fan.
