Whatever you can say about the Mookie Betts trade from the Red Sox perspective — and we have said quite a lot — there is no escaping how amazing a deal this is from the Los Angeles Dodgers' perspective. The Dodgers, though having fallen just short of World Series victories in 2017 and 2018 and having been knocked out of the playoffs in the Division Series last season, were already the class of their division and one of the best teams in the game. Neither of those efforts panned out, but with a week to go before pitchers and catchers report, they have added the second best player in the game in Betts and a solid starter who is still, on occasion, capable of greatness to their rotation.
The Dodgers won 106 games last year. And now they’re even better.
