Does Anyone Understand These Moves?
By the Dodgers, Red Sox, A's, and Braves?
Dodgers trade Kemp (& $31M) (keeping Ethier) to a division rivial (albeit a weak one) and get little in return. They trade Dee Gordon away in one deal and get Jimmy Rollins, age 36 in another...a big loss at the top of the lineup.
Red Sox let an ace pitcher who very much wanted to return to them get away, then trade away the middle-of-the -lineup slugger they got for him in the first place....for a less-than-ace pitcher.
Billy Beane being Billy Beane.
And in Atlanta, they basically traded Heyward for Markakis.
Crazy Times!
