The trade sending Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers is all but complete. Although the Red Sox reportedly balked at Brusdar Graterol‘s medical report, this won’t cause the entire deal to fall apart, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan. At most, there might be a change in which prospect the Red Sox receive or how much of Price’s contract they agree to eat. At the end of the day, our boys are headed to La La Land.
While I mean no disrespect to David “Should-Have-Been-The-2018-World-Series-MVP” Price, Betts is the headliner in this deal and his loss is a gut punch to the roster and the fan base.
