What appeared to be a blockbuster trade is now on the verge of collapsing as the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins were unable to get over an impasse, leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers hanging in the balance.
Less than a week ago the Dodgers were poised to acquire Mookie Betts, David Price and cash considerations. They were parting with Kenta Maeda (Twins) and Alex Verdugo (Red Sox) as part of the three-team trade.
The initial expectation was the Twins and Red Sox would come to an agreement on additional compensation to Brusdar Graterol, but Minnesota set a deadline and now are not expected to be part of the deal.
