For the Dodgers…
Josh Beckett: After the trade, he did pitch well for the rest of the season (2-3 with a 2.93 ERA) but injuries robbed him of most of 2013 and 2014, although he did pitch a no-hitter against the Phillies on May 25, 2014. He retired after that year. I would say that’s pretty much a bust.
Carl Crawford: Looking at his 2013 and 2014, it looks like Crawford revitalized his career a bit (averages of .283 and .300 respectively) although his absolutely scary speed seemed to be a memory at that point. 2015 and 2016 were forgettable, but those first two seasons weren’t all that bad. Can’t really call this one a bust on the stats, but that salary … yikes!
Adrián González: 100 percent the best piece in the deal. He had some really nice seasons in L.A. and got some hardware: A Silver Slugger, A Gold Glove, an RBI title and another All-Star berth. I think three years of 20+ HR and four years of 90+ RBI is a win in anyone’s book.
Nick Punto: I don’t think anyone was expecting much here, since Punto was a spare part. Was great at walk-off celebrations. They called him “The Shredder.”
The Dodgers as a whole started a run of eight straight divisional titles, so nothing really hurt them.
