I'm a little surprised the Dodgers are parting with Pederson knowing that they'll only have Betts for a year, but I suppose hoping for a Pollock or Kike bounceback isn't the worst fallback plan.

Luis Rengifo to the Dodgers for Pederson... a 45 FV middle infielder who's a good defender... light with the bat. So he'll go to the Dodgers and become the next superstar I'm sure.
I could see AA making a deal like this next off-season for a superstar type player a year from free agency.
Infielder Luis Rengifo is headed to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a deal for outfielder Joc Pederson, sources tell ESPN.
I feel like the Dodgers just fleeced the Red Sox with them also paying half of Price's salary.
AA is going to save his assets for an ace at the trade deadline, I bet. I’ll be surprised if we pick up a star at third.
Sounds like the Dodgers are planning on doing whatever it takes to sign Mookie long term.
Dodgers fleeced here if Verdugo is the biggest name they give up and they keep Downs, Gonsolin, Ruiz, May, AND Lux. Christ that team is stacked.

There was one unconfirmed report that he had an ask the BoSox wouldn't meet, and then he's on record roughly a googol times now publicly saying that he isn't signing any extension with anyone and is going to become a free agent.
Personally, I find all the on the record statements more compelling until proven otherwise.

Could be an all LA World Series... although I don't think the Angels have the pitching.
Kiley-
Sources tell me the deal is
LAD gets: Mookie Betts, David Price, cash from BOS
MIN gets: Kenya Maeda
BOS gets: Alex Verdugo, Brusdar Graterol
Separately, LAD trades Joc Pederson to LAA for Luis Rengifo
