So the question has to be asked, was the deal worth it for the Dodgers? Acquiring Max and Trea got them no further than they likely would have ended up without them, and they gave up two top prospects (we hope). Having Trea for another season probably tilts it towards "yes it was worth it" but they went all in and lost.
Obviously not worth it, but they’d do that deal again in a heartbeat because it gave them a better shot at winning
