Beckett will likely be fine pitching in LA, I think the Dodgers got the #2 starter they really needed and one of the best hitters in baseball while giving up very little in the way of prospects. The Dodgers can generate a cash stream like no one else but the Yankeees, why would they really be concerned with the $$$? You get a long-term middle of the order guy, a #2 pitcher for this year and next, Nick ####### Punto and take on the bad Crawford deal. Maybe the Dodgers allowed the Red Sox to hit the "reset button," but that game is going to need a lot of quarters in the coming years.Well of course not. Beckett and Crawford are a mess. My only point is, I doubt the Sox are able to gain more from FA than they will lose from Gonzo.Not really a fair question. Would the Dodgers have taken that other SLOP if Gonzalez wasn't included?What player on that list is better than Gonzo?Why is everyone so certain that Boston's front office sees this as a rebuilding phase? They still have deep pockets and you gotta figure they will dive head-first into the free agent class.http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/04/2013-mlb-free-agents.html
