The Red Sox remain in trade talks with the Padres over All-Star right fielder Mookie Betts, however, at least one thing stands in their way of possibly agreeing to a deal.
According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, the Padres are "willing to send two young major leaguers and at least one prospect" to Boston with outfielder Wil Myers in exchange for Betts. In order for the Friars to take on Betts' $27 million salary for a one-year rental, the club wants the Red Sox to "come up significantly in the portion of Myers' contract they are willing to pay.
