The Dodgers traded Jose De Leon straight up for Logan Forsythe. Jose De Leon is one of the top right-handed pitching prospects in all of baseball. Logan Forsythe is a second baseman who is entering his prime. Personally, I think Jose De Leon’s future is in the bullpen, but I have been wrong before. I liked Brian Dozier, but I also like Logan Forsythe a lot. I just did not think Tampa Bay would give him up in a straight up one-for-one deal. There is evidently no animosity between TB and Friedman.
Even if JDL is the real deal, the Dodgers will not miss him THIS year and probably NEXT year.
