Columnist BillPlaschke: The Dodgers are finally in it to win it

Betts apparently would not have been traded here if the Dodgers didn’t agree to take on Price and some or all of the $96 million owed him. That’s a lot of money for a declining talent, yet Kasten apparently signed off on it anyway.

Although Maeda was a nice regular-season starting pitcher, he spent his postseasons in the bullpen, and unhappily so.
