Betts Trade Hits A Snag As Red Sox Concerned About Graterol's Medical Records

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Red Sox-Dodgers-Twins blockbuster trade hit a snag last night, when the Red Sox expressed concern over the medical records of Twins right-hander Brusdar Graterol.

[Boston] projected him more as a reliever than as a starter, according to sources involved with the discussions. As a result of that valuation, the Sox might ask for an additional player and/or money to bridge the gap, though it is unclear whether the player would come from the Twins or Dodgers, sources said. ...

Graterol is one of two players the Red Sox are set to obtain for Price and outfielder Mookie Betts.
