Dodgers acquire Mookie Betts, David Price in blockbuster deal

The Los Angeles Dodgers are ready to go for it again!

The team confirmed that they have acquired 2018 AL MVP Mookie Betts, five-time All-Star lefty David Price from the Boston Red Sox.

As part of the deal, they shipped off outfield prospect Alex Verdugo and tens of millions of dollars to Boston in order to help them get below the luxury tax.

There were also additional moves to help alleviate all the salary the Dodgers are taking on in this massive trade. They have also sent veteran starter Kenta Maeda to the Minnesota Twins. The Twins turned around and sent pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol to Boston to complete the deal.

Betts, 27, will earn $27 million in the final year of his contract in 2020. The Dodgers are hopeful they can negotiate a long-term extension with the superstar slugger before he enters unrestricted free agency.

David Price has three-years and $96 million remaining on his contract.
