The Padres and Red Sox have discussed a trade that would send 2018 AL MVP winner Mookie Betts to San Diego for Wil Myers and prospects, according to The Athletic's Dennis Lin.
Betts has been floated into trade rumors throughout the offseason, including to the Padres' division rival Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Red Sox outfielder is set to hit free agency after the 2020 season. While Betts could walk away after one season, he would drastically improve the Padres' chances of making their first postseason since 2006.
According to Lin, recent talks between the two parties have "focused on sending a significant amount of prospect talent" and outfielder Myers to Boston.
