The Red Sox are sending Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Nick Punto to Los Angeles. While the Dodgers are sending Rubby De La Rosa, Allen Webster, Jerry Sands, James Loney, and Ivan De Jesus to Boston.
Ever since the Padres put Adrian Gonzalez on the trading block a couple years ago, I wanted him in a Dodgers uniform. He's the best player on Mexico's World Baseball Classic team and I've been following his career since his Texas days.
Well things got interesting on Thursday when Gonzalez was places on waivers. Everyone was saying that there is close to zero chance that the Redsox would trade Gonzalez with that large contract. That quickly changed on Friday afternoon after the Dodgers were awarded claims on Gonzalez and Beckett.
Beckett has been awful this season but maybe a change of leagues can help him out. He was great when he pitched for the Florida Marlins. It's a toss up between Beckett and Blanton right now. Blanton hasn't really been pitching that well.
Carl Crawford is out for the remainder of the season because of Tommy John surgery and will most likely miss half of the season next year.
From TrueBlueLA:
Adrian Gonzalez has six years, $127 million left on his contractThe only player that I'll probably miss going to the Redsox will be Rubby De La Rosa. I'm fine with every other player that was included. I'm a little shocked that the Dodgers didn't have to add Zach Lee to the deal.
Carl Crawford has five years, $102.5 million left
Josh Beckett has two years, $31.5 million remaining
Nick Punto, aka the glue to the deal, has $1.5 million due in 2013
