MLB Rumors: Mookie Betts being traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers or the San Diego Padres has been the topic of discussion for much of the new year, and with pitchers and catchers reporting next week, the sense seems to be that a deal is increasingly likely, with the situation likely to be resolved shortly.
Peter Gammons yesterday tweeted that three National League executives thought Betts to the Dodgers was inevitable, and Gammons mentioned a package fronted by outfielder Alex Verdugo and minor league infielder Jeter Downs.
