Dodgers/Diamondbacks

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After a bit of back and forth over a couple days the D-Backs and Dodgers have agreed to the following trade...


Dodgers get:
   Brian Goodwin, LF/CF/RF, Angels.  2020/7.5M  2021/7.5M  2022/7.5M  2023/7.5M  2024/UFA


D-Backs get:
   Carlos Santana, 1B, Indians.  2020/24M  2021/24M  2022/UFA   LAD is paying 50% ($12M) of Santana's salary for 2020 only.


Goodwin is a very good bat, but this is a move we felt a need to make to help us out positionally. Santana will man 1B everyday freeing up Canha to play one of the 3 OF positions. We just felt this makes us a stronger team immediately.

Thank the the Dodger's GM for making this deal and making the negotiations relatively easy!

Dodgers accept. While Santana has been solid for us the past year, Dodgers salary issues for 2021 forced us to consider moving him to shed salary. With Goodwin's positional flexibility across all 3 OF positions, we needed an RF to fill a vacant spot and feel there are other options for 1B to take Santana's place.

Thanks to D-Backs GM for always keeping the phone on to get a deal done. Best of luck this year and going forward.
