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. They also traded starting pitcher Kenta Maeda, minor leaguer Jaír Camargo and cash considerations to the Minnesota Twins for pitcher Brusdar Graterol, outfielder Luke Raley and the 67th pick in the 2020 Major League Baseball draft. The team's regular season .717 winning percentage is the highest of the post-1960 expansion era. Had the team finished a 162-game season at the same pace, they would have tied the 1906 Chicago Cubs and 2001 Seattle Mariners with a record 116 wins. The Dodgers also have six home games with the Colorado Rockies, and one four-game series at Coors Field in September.
As a result of the ongoing pandemic, Minor League Baseball did not operate a season at any level this year.
