There are two trade rumors involving the Dodgers that just won’t go away: Francisco Lindor and Mookie Betts.
I’ve written about Lindor a few times and once about Betts already, but Jon Morosi stoked the fires again on Thursday when he reported that the Dodgers are as — if not more — likely to trade for Betts than Lindor, in part because Cleveland is insisting on Gavin Lux in any Lindor trade and the Dodgers don’t want to trade Lux.
As a result, sources say the Dodgers’ negotiations with the Red Sox about acquiring Mookie Betts have become at least as frequent — and perhaps even more involved — than their talks with the Indians about Lindor.
