Rumor: Padres and Red Sox have discussed a trade for Mookie Betts

We haven’t had many San Diego Padres rumors recently, but we got a juicy one on Thursday night that has the San Diego Padres fan base buzzing.

Dennis Lin of The Athletic (paid subscription required) reported that the two teams have a least discussed a possible trade for the MVP outfielder.

Certainly fans on Twitter have been talking about and hoping for this possible move for a while, but this is the first real confirmation that I’ve seen of the two sides talking.

Lin points out in the article that the teams have discussed a “significant amount of prospect talent and outfielder Wil Myers to Boston,”

But he also points out that this is still very unlikely to happen, so don’t get too excited.
