Two former Tampa Bay Rays’ executives have struck a blockbuster deal. The Boston Red Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers were at the core of a massive trade that sent Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers.
Andrew Friedman has not spent more than $55 million on any free agent since taking the helm in Los Angeles.
Boston appears to be blowing it up under newly acquired Chief Baseball Officer (and former Rays Senior VP) Chaim Bloom.
Friedman landed in LA prior to the 2015 season. Since that time, he has avoided long-term contracts like the plague.
