That trade that sent Matt Kemp and brought in Yasmani Grandal and two prospects is looking better and better.
Joc Pederson was basically another byproduct of that trade and I hope they keep him long-term to be the Dodgers’ future middle of the order slugger.
It’s unfortunate that Puig has become a huge distraction and won’t be part of the Dodgers’ future plans. Pederson, Seager and Puig would have been crazy. But I will settle with Seager and Pederson.
