LOL.  No.  Why would the Dodgers basically give up Gonsolin and Downs for Graterol to make this deal happen?  Am I missing something? 

That's not really accurate. Thought is that the red Sox weren't getting enough of a return. So the Dodgers would be trading Gonsolin and Downs for Graterol and the remaining difference that needs to be made up to get betts and price. I don't know too much about them all, but Graterol is a top 50 prospect so he's worth more than Gonsolin. So Downs is used to make up that difference and the difference needed to give a better return for betts

Because they want Price and Betts? I think Bowden’s solution feels like a bit of an overpay, but I’m not a prospects guy.

My point is, the Dodgers aren't the ones who got pissy and aren't happy with the deal.  I realize they want Price and Betts, but seems like they're getting screwed if they're the ones who have to "make up the difference."

How about Boston trades us Betts and the Dodgers trade us Stripling. We trade Rengifo and Ward to LA and we send Suarez and Pena to Boston. LA sends Pederson to Boston and Boston sends Price to LA.

I'm a genious.

So the original source that said the Twins are pulling out is now saying they didn't pull out.

Just once in my life, Id kill to be a newspaper reporter.

Id make the headline to my article for today read "Twins f*ck Dodgers, Sox; pull out"

Also, who gives a shit? I only go on like 3 Reddit boards. This is stupid.

Yeah I agree, but the alternative is that they don't get Betts. Maybe they just give the Sox Josiah Gray instead of Gonsolin/Downs. Gives them a player fairly equal in value to Graterol but is a SP prospect (I think).
