Report: Red Sox trying to 'reconfigure' part of Mookie Betts trade to avoid deal falling apart

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ blockbuster deal to acquire Boston Red Sox star Mookie Betts and starting pitcher David Price might require an adjustment due to Boston’s medical evaluation of a Minnesota Twins prospect involved in the deal, according to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

The current trade sees Betts and Price (plus enough money to cover half of the $96 million remaining on Price’s contract) go to Los Angeles, young Dodgers outfielder Alex Verdugo go to the Red Sox, Dodgers right-hander Kenta Maeda go to the Twins and pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol go to the Red Sox.
