Star outfielder Mookie Betts reportedly isn't a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic and Jeff Passan of ESPN reported the three-team trade involving the Dodgers, Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins that would send Betts and pitcher David Price to Los Angeles, outfielder Alex Verdugo and pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol to Boston, and pitcher Kenta Maeda to Minnesota has been held up.

Passan noted the Red Sox are "spooked" by Graterol's medical review. The pitcher was sidelined for some time in 2019 with a shoulder injury and has undergone Tommy John surgery.
