Baseball transactions--trades, sales, purchases, free-agent activities--ignite passions. Whether it is the purchase or sale of a veteran star during the heat of a pennant race, a multi-player trade in the dead of winter, or the scramble for desirable free agents during the offseason, player transactions engender more interest and heated debate among fans than almost any other aspect of the game. This book covers the transactions of the Los Angeles Dodgers, one of the game's most storied teams, from their move from Brooklyn in 1958 through the 2024 season. Each transaction is viewed in historical perspective, explaining the reasons that the teams made the deal; the expectations of owners, general managers, and managers for the new players; and, where possible, the players' views on their former and current teams. Here is the full story of the Dodgers' player trades.
