MLB Rumors: A Mookie Betts and David Price trade to the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Boston Red Sox may be close, with multiple reporters on Twitter indicating that talks are accelerating. Alex Speier says that medicals are being reviewed currently. Per Ken Rosenthal, Alex Verdugo would be the key piece going to the Red Sox in this deal.
Betts is a free agent at the end of 2020 and has shown no inclination towards signing an extension, and so Boston has been rumored to have interest in dealing him all offseason, with rumors the last couple of days indicating that the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres were aggressively pursuing Betts, one of the best players in MLB.
