The Deal from ESPN will get done Today but the L.A. Dodgers are making Yankees GM Brian Cashman and the Bronx Zoo look like a Small Market Team all of a sudden. With New Ownership in Dodger Town USA...the Dodgers are not wasting anytime and will make getting a Pennant and a possible Trip to the Fall Classic 2012 their Business.

The Deal is Large in will make the Boys in Blue you would think In Charge of the NL West soon but there is Work to do.  The Red Sox reportedly send 1B Adrian Gonzalez ($105 Million), RHP Josh Beckett ($31.5 Million), OF Carl Crawford ($102.5 Million), and Utility Infielder Nick Punto ($1.5 Million). The Red Sox get in return Infielder Ivan DeJesus, 1B James Loney, OF/1B Jerry Sands, and RHP's Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa which is the Dodgers #2 Overall Prospect. The Money in parenthesis is money owed after this Season. Dodgers also pick up what ever is left in 2012 for the New Players.

The Carmines hand some $260 Plus Million over to the Boys in Blue as they get rid of some Hard Contracts in Crawford and Beckett. A-Gon has put up some really good numbers for the Carmines and he should help the Boys in Blue ASAP. Beckett you would think would give the Dodgers another Arm in the Rotation as RHP Billingsley went down last night with Arm Problems in the 3rd Inning vs Marlins.

Carl Crawford on the other hand is a Huge Gamble for the Carmines as he went on IR for the Rest of 2012 with Tommy John Surgery on the Horizon. The Dodgers are hoping of he can get back to form they will have Crawford, A-Gon, and Beckett to go with a nucleus of 2011 CY Young Winner LHP Kershaw, Kemp, Ethier, and Hanley Ramirez. If all goes well that is a pretty good Coup for the Boys in Blue.

THe DOdgers Payroll was Only at $93 plus Million before the Trade as the Yankees were #1 in Payroll at some $195 Plus Million.

Carmines are now in Full Rebuilding Mode and that Word can be downright Menacing because it can go for a Few Seasons to Decades. Now the Red Sox have an New Antacid called BOSlaids. POP POP FIZZ FIZZ Oh what a Team PAYROLL Relief that is.....
