tommy john for a position player doesn't matter and you can project that he will age much better than adrian gonzales. first baseman have a history of aging poorly.

vyomguy · 08-24-12, 09:08 PM

dodgers are taking in lot of money....jesus christ...crawford and beckett are junk....boston had to give up gonzalez to ged rid of those 2 guys.

boston is in rebuilding stage from now on.

dodgers wont win shit even with that lineup.

jjgold · 08-25-12, 06:19 AM

Blockbuster??

All washed up players

rm18 · 08-25-12, 08:11 AM

Gonzalez a huge upgrade over Loney, the other two average but still help some

Smoke · 08-25-12, 08:24 AM

Blockbuster

zoo youk · 08-25-12, 08:57 AM

i like how everyone saying Crawford is junk lol. Boston ruined him. a new scenery and he will be back on top of his game. it was only 2-3 years ago this guy was in the running for MVP all the time. one of the most dynamic players on the field when at the top of his game and no he has not lost a step.

RavensFan2k3 · 08-25-12, 08:57 AM

Is it official yet because Beckett is supposed to pitch tonight vs. KC....and if he is im makin a play for KC...if he isnt, then idk lol

Deuce · 08-25-12, 09:00 AM

Washed up but Sox getting buried.

dredmahawkus · 08-25-12, 09:36 AM

ITs all but official now they just said on the radio.....just dotting the I's and crossing the Ts

Smoke · 08-25-12, 09:45 AM

He is already ageing terribly.

Snowball · 08-25-12, 09:48 AM

yeah it's done. heard report on radio. some big reporter is saying its completed.
just a salary dump by the sox.
red sox nation fed up, nothing but hate around here until today.

can't believe dodgers were foolish enough to do this.

He ruined himself by playing terrible last year, plus he can't seem to stay healthy. He will be 32 next year, and is clearly on the decline in his career. If you think he is anywhere near the MVP level any more then you haven't watched him play much since he left the Rays.

Snowball · 08-25-12, 09:51 AM

gonzales will be a slightly better than average hitter
crawford will be an average outfielder
beckett will be an average 3-4th rotation starter
punto is a good infield utility pickup.

dodgers got raped. bad. now they won't be players
in the free agent market.
but one thing we don't know yet is how much $$$
the sox had to pay them to do this...

Mr. Teaser · 08-25-12, 09:52 AM

It's done: Red Sox, Dodgers complete huge nine-player deal

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2012/08/red-sox-dodgers-trade-complete/1#.UDjkx6DPaSo

The final steps in a massive coast-to-coast deal have been completed.

They are predicting Agon will be in todays linup for the Dodgers

8ArIvd5 · 08-25-12, 10:29 AM

Red Sox throwing away the trash. Fitting it lands in Los Angeles.

Giants still win the division.

Snowball · 08-25-12, 10:40 AM

I can't believe the Sox only had to pay $15 million
I thought it was going to be closer to $30.

Garbage pickup charge.

wow hes fkn 32???? had no clue about that...

zoo youk · 08-25-12, 10:42 AM

so anyway.

the main point of this is for the Red Sox to clear up cap space to bring in starting pitching but who the hell is on the market next year that is even worth it?

What planet are you living on Gonzales slightly better than average?? Crawford average? You've lost your mind. Crawford has been hurt, ok but calling him average is just stupid. Calling Gonzales slightly above average is even more stupid. He has not had an average season in For about 10 years.

zoo youk · 08-25-12, 11:20 AM

Gonzalez, Kemp, Hanley, Ethier is fkn scary.....all their numbers will come up consider the amount of stress the pitchers will have to make going through that part of the order

Pretty sure David Stern is just gonna sit and watch this one.

haters gonna hate'

dodgers are the yankees of the west coast now its about time.

King Mayan · 08-25-12, 01:02 PM

Gonzo on a plane towards LA..

Pound the Dodgers tonight.

cigar · 08-25-12, 01:28 PM

no offense to all new englander fans, but the biggest whiners in sports root for the Pats or Sox..... Dodgers did it right with a trade, they weren't trying to buy a championship in free agency like the Red Sox and Yankees always attempt. Obvious lack of harmony in Boston probably rejuvinates Beckett and Crawford, while Gonzo is simply good enough to produce without regard to what uniform he is in, or the attitudes and personalities that surround him.......

King Mayan · 08-25-12, 01:58 PM

alling · 08-25-12, 02:04 PM

Beckett washed up. Crawford washed up and injury prone. Gonzalez on the decline. Reminiscent of a Dan Snyder acquisition.

Dodgers are the biggest suckers in the history of sports.

jnickell100 · 08-25-12, 02:23 PM

Beckett is washed up yes. But how do people keep saying Gonzalez is on decline. Look at his stats. He is on pace for another .300 30hr and over 100 RBI season

darrell74 · 08-25-12, 02:29 PM

Nominate this:

We are going to miss Jerry Sands, here, in Albuquerque.
He's been a key cog in getting the 'topes in 1st place.
Now our post season PCL playoff hopes, are in jeopardy

jnickell100 · 08-25-12, 02:31 PM

Ya I wish sands woulda got more of a chance. Send Uribes fat ass Down and give the young guy a chance. He will be good for Boston in few years

your right, 2/3(15 dingers)
7th best at 86 rbi's, 300 average as of today

MagicDiceFlow · 08-25-12, 06:38 PM

Dodgers got the raw end of the deal here. The only decent player they got out of the deal is Gonzales. Will give them maybe 5 more wins for $250 million.....not worth it and bad move by Dodgers mgmt. Bunch of washed up players for $250 million. They should have went out and got more pitching not offense. That Dodgers lineup will still get punked by that formidable Giants pitching lineup in the playoffs.

Sam Odom · 10-03-12, 10:07 AM

----WAS IT WORTH IT----

They will be watching the playoffs on TV like Sammy

jjgold · 10-03-12, 01:34 PM

all washed up bums thats all

Ghenghis Kahn · 10-03-12, 01:42 PM

i don't know how this offense got shut out so many times. all they had to do was win couple more games to make the playoffs.

just a bunch of overpaid scrubs...
