One of the 10 best players in baseball was acquired Wednesday for the price of … five minor leaguers, and only one who ranks among the Dodgers’ top-ten prospects. Can that be right?
Let me check the Dodgers’ major league roster. Alex Wood, here. Yasiel Puig, here. Joc Pederson, here. Logan Forsythe, here. A first-place club, here.
The Dodgers were somehow able to substantially improve their team without losing anyone from their team, and you know what that means.
Now they can have major league pieces to acquire what they really need, which is a couple of accomplished relievers or a starter, something they can find in the next couple of weeks.
