OC Register: Reaction: Mookie Betts reportedly traded to Dodgers, Joc Pederson to Angels

[AngelsWin.com]

The NBA trade deadline will come and go this week but the Dodgers, who have made the biggest trade news.

According to reports, the Dodgers will trade outfielder Alex Verdugo and prospects to the Boston Red Sox for outfielder Mookie Betts and pitcher David Price.

The Minnesota Twins will receive pitcher Kenta Maeda.

Since he joined #Dodgers in 2016, Kenta Maeda has started more games for LAD (103) than any other pitcher (Kershaw 102) https://t.co/Bs4EIoa21x

The Dodgers really are the model organization in Major League Baseball. Every organization should be striving towards what they have going. All they need to do is lock up their first WS in forever.

The Dodgers have reportedly put together a trade that would send Joc Pederson to the Angels.

Moving Pederson and getting Red Sox to pay chunk of Price contract I believe would allow #Dodgers to stay under luxury-tax threshold. https://t.co/DWaqdV3R93

If this is the total deal, #Dodgers got Mookie Betts, David Price and Luis Rengifo for Joc Pederson, Alex Verdugo and Kenta Maeda. Did not give up Dustin May or Gavin Lux (or Jeter Downs or Josiah Gray). And might still be under the luxury-tax threshold. https://t.co/FwiubTyozo

Here's a little bit about the #Angels acquisition of Joc Pederson, which hasn't yet been confirmed but has been widely reported. https://t.co/4PnZ4IWQ8d

According to prospect guru @KyleAGlaser of Baseball America, if the #Angels are getting Andy Pages, he'd be around 8-10 in their prospect rankings. He is currently No. 23 with the Dodgers.
