I don't understand the comment that the Dodgers are looking up to other teams in the NL while wasting Kershaw's prime years. They won their division the last 4 years and Kershaw had his chances in the playoffs. I love Kershaw, but in truth, the Dodgers' big problem is that Kershaw hasn't delivered in the playoffs; and not because they didn't have Dozier.

The Dodgers most likely offered De Leon for Dozier, but the Twins, along with their fans, were looking for Bellinger and other top prospects to be included. The Dodgers have moved on and are looking at other options. Actually, Kinsler or Forsythe are better fits for the Dodgers and won't cost top prospects. Twins fans would rather have Dozier than De Leon, and Dodgers' fans would rather have De Leon, so everyone will end up happy on this one. The Twins can trade with the Giants for their top pitching prospect (Tyler Beede, who is ranked 98th on the Top 100 prospects) or they can turn to the free agent market for pitching.
