While some fans believed they would see both Mookie Betts and David Price land in Los Angeles much sooner, there is some uncertainty lingering around the completion of baseball’s biggest deal this winter, as the Dodgers, Red Sox and Twins are still working to find a common resolution.
Specifically, the medical records of hard-throwing pitcher Brusdar Graterol have been the biggest obstacle in finalizing the trade.
The original scenario would have seen Betts and Price shipped to the Dodgers from Boston, outfielder Alex Verdugo sent to the Red Sox from Los Angeles, righty swing man Kenta Maeda sent to the Twins from Los Angeles, and Graterol sent to the Red Sox from Minnesota.
