Although the World Series has yet to end, there is already talk about a possible Mookie Betts trade. Should the Dodgers trade for the talented slugger?

The Astros and Nationals are still finishing up the World Series but soon the hot stove season will pick up and the Dodgers will begin looking for ways to improve their club for the 2020 season and beyond.  One of the big names that could be on the trade market is Red Sox slugger Mookie Betts who has seen his name surface in rumors since August.

Further fueling rumors of a possible Betts trade is the Boston Red Sox looking to shed payroll and attempt to get under the luxury tax.  Mookie is projected to make around $27 million next season in his final season before free agency.  He has already turned down an eight-year 200 million dollar extension so Boston could be looking to deal him and collect assets while shedding payroll.

Should the Dodgers make a play for a star about to hit free agency after the 2020 season?  Here are the pros and cons of dealing for Mookie Betts.
