Dodgers also end up having about $250 million locked up until 2018 with only $30 million off after 2 years assuming Beckett isn't resigned. Getting A-Gon was the gem for the Dodgers but don't expect anything from Beckett especially once the LA media starts to complain about him.
For the Red Sox the big news is they now can easily lock up Ellsbury who probably was going to be gone due to horrible screw ups by management over the years. Also gets rid of the headcase that is Beckett from all his drinking and non-stop excuses anytime he did something wrong. |

Adrian just makes them so much better. Crawford and Beckett are big risks. Especially Crawford. A .280avg\.300obp slap hitting left fielder isn't worth $20 mil.

Has this been "officially" finalized yet? Seems like everyone's jumping the gun but I haven't read any updates from mlb or espn.

So this is a done deal? I am glad Dodgers have quickly become my favorite team in the National League. So I am happy about this. The Dodgers sure won this deal......in the short term at least. In the long term with Loney and the 3 prospects going to Boston I can certainly see the Sox being the favorite of the deal in the long term.

It's a done deal. The players have been switched to their respective teams on MLB.com and Gonzalez is in tonight's Dodgers lineup.

And with the trade, the Dodgers now have roughly $194 million in payroll obligations for 2013. Included in that is $8.3 million to Manny Ramirez and $3.2 million to Andruw Jones.

Seriously its starting to become a joke right now, Red Sox got rid of one head case and now might have another issue considering ESPN has reported Aceves has been given a 3 game suspension by the team.
Apparently he tried to blame his meltdown against the Angels as a "team effort" which pissed off everyone. Then stormed off and demanded a meeting with the GM and Bobby V which both refused. Then supposedly got bad once he found out yesterday he wasn't closing the Royals game due to high pitch count against the Angels (37ish). Probably means he's getting traded once the August deadline appears considering Bailey just got promoted as closer now. |

Dodgers went from 12/1 to 8/1 to win World Series after trade with Red Sox, Boston goes from 75-1 prior to deal, to 110/1 in Vegas |

Rays lose, Yankees lose, Jays are obviously going to lose and Boston blew a 6 run lead to kc, probably going to lose

I am excited over the chance that the Sept 6th game vs the Yankees that I'm going to could be for the division lead..

If Adrian Gonzalez hits like he's capable of, Matt Kemp is going to benefit most from it, because he'll see more pitches. So if he puts together a nice little run, he could still win the NL MVP.
Also, Josh Beckett is slated to pitch on Monday over at Coors Field. Oh gawd. |

I guess Hawk Harrelson popped another gasket and went crazy over a bad call.
Does Selig have the authority to fire broadcasters? |

They're employed by the teams (pretty sure?), so I'm thinking no. But he (Selig) should be able to "influence" a decision, especially since hawk is calling out umpires for "not knowing about the game," and not just yelling about the calls themselves.

Yeah. I know Selig already called him once and pretty much warned him.
It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next few days. |

LA is known as a good place to be a pitcher. Beckett may rebound because of both atmosphere changes

Joe Saunders traded to Baltimore.
Again, why do we bother with a trade deadline? |

They really should just make the trade deadline August 31st. That's when your playoff roster eligibility is set anyway.

they have to go though waivers now, so anyone can claim them. I like it. I like the tiered system.

Yankees aquire Steve Pearce from the Astros for cash. They DFA Brandon Laird to make room.
Whatever. |
