The Red Sox are about to make a blockbuster trade to the LA Dodgers that will punctuate a disappointing season. The Red Sox put the majority of their team on waivers and the Dodgers swooped in and took advantage of what is turning into a fire sale for the Red Sox.

The Red Sox are sending Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto to the Dodgers for a promising minor league pitcher named Rubby De La Rosa. De La Rosa was 4-5 with a 3.71 ERA for the Dodgers last season. There are still some other pieces to be included like James Loney, but this is basically a fire sale for the Red Sox.

Dodgers Are Now Favorites To Win the World Series

Reports on the internet suggested that the Red Sox were putting everyone on the waiver wire to include Jon Lester and Jacoby Ellsbury.

Now it seems like those may be the only two players that the Red Sox are keeping. One of the major components was getting Adrian Gonzalez, and once the Dodgers claimed Josh Beckett it was basically a done deal.

At the start of the year sportsbook SportsbettingOnline had the Red Sox as one of the favorites to win the World Series. When this deal is done, the Dodgers will become favorites to win the World Series and if you want to bet on the Dodgers to win it all, now is the time to place that bet. The World Series odds will shift as details of this deal come out.

Bobby Valentine is denying the trade  but the updates are fast and furious and barring a few hurdles according to Gordon Edes on Twitter, this deal is all but done.

This deal will be done and it will send the Red Sox into a rebuilding mode and it will almost secure a spot in the World Series for the Dodgers.
