The three-team trade that would send Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers may be in serious trouble.
The Minnesota Twins, the third team in that trade, are reportedly “very pessimistic” about their end of the deal getting done, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The Twins were to send pitcher Brusdar Graterol to the Red Sox and would have received pitcher Kenta Maeda from the Dodgers. The Dodgers were originally sending Maeda to Minnesota in exchange for Graterol, who would have then been flipped to the Red Sox with Alex Verdugo while Betts and David Price went to Los Angeles.
