In order for the Boston Red Sox to deal 2018 American League MVP Mookie Betts, according to ESPN's Buster Olney (h/t The Score's Simon Sharkey-Gotlieb), interested teams must also be willing to take on left-handed pitcher David Price and his $96 million contract.

The Red Sox additionally want "two high-end prospects."

Betts and Boston agreed to a record-breaking one-year, $27 million contract to avoid arbitration earlier this month. Should a team add Betts and Price in a trade, $59 million in salary would be added.
