The Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox completed the deal of the year this weekend, and twitter reaction is flooding in from all players involved. The trade sent Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford, and Nick Punto to LA in a huge salary dump for Boston.
Players React To Dodgers, Red Sox Trade
The centerpiece of the trade, Gonzalez, is showing off his philanthropic side as he is more concerned with charity than baseball. The Red Sox are currently running a Jimmy Fund campaign, and Gonzalez says he will not abandon that. Also, if you could help Gonzo out with any new charities, he would be much appreciated:
Btw, still gonna continue 5k to Jimmy Fund through season's end. Also need a great charity to add to in LA. Any suggestions?

If you can read Spanish, feel free to check out Luis Cruz's tweet. High school classes may at least help decipher some of the words. Finally, reaction would not be complete without the imitable Shane Victorino:
