Team Fielding--Totals
The deal was worth $365 million and also included a $65 million signing bonus, making it the richest contract in Dodgers history. On February 10, 2020, the Dodgers traded outfielder Alex Verdugo and minor leaguers Connor Wong and Jeter Downs to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for outfielder Mookie Betts, starting pitcher David Price and cash considerations.

The Dodgers also have six home games with the Colorado Rockies, and one four-game series at Coors Field in September.
