Good morning, Athletics Nation!
One of the MLB teams hurt most by the coronavirus pandemic was supposed to be the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Before the season they swung a massive win-now trade to acquire one year of superstar Mookie Betts, only to spend months wondering if the whole campaign would get canceled and he would become a free agent next winter without ever playing a game in their uniform. Even with a 60-game schedule, they would only get a fraction of the time they’d hoped for with him, while still being stuck with a couple expensive years of David Price in 2021-22 that they took on as a salary dump.
