It took a week, but the Mookie Betts trade has been completed, and the Baltimore Orioles are still happy to see him go. Some of the details have changed, but the Orioles will get their reprieve from the former MVP and former Cy Young winner David Price.
In the restructured deal, the two stars go to the Dodgers with cash to pay for half of Price’s remaining contract. In return, the Red Sox receive major league outfielder Alex Verdugo, top shortstop prospect Jeter Downs, and mid-level catching prospect Connor Wong.
