The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers completed a trade
over the weekend that might go down as the biggest blockbuster trade in
baseball history. On one side, you have the Red Sox beginning the process of
revamping their team by cutting a ton of salary. On the other side, you have
the Dodgers looking to win now with new ownership that has money to burn.
When you look at the trade on paper, it’s amazing it even got done with the big names that were involved and the salaries that were exchanged. The Red Sox sent Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto to Los Angeles in exchange for James Loney and a package of minor leaguers. In total, there were nine players involved and over $250 million in salaries taken on by the Dodgers.
