Reports: Mookie Betts trade talks deteriorating, deal in jeopardy

[admin]

EST] LaVelle E. Neal III of the Minnesota Star-Tribune is reporting that the Twins are keeping Brusdar Graterol and will therefore not be part of the trade that would send Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers. Graterol was originally going to be shipped to Los Angeles in exchange for starter Kenta Maeda, and would have subsequently been flipped to the Red Sox along with outfielder Alex Verdugo. The trade hit a snag when the Red Sox, who had planned on deploying Graterol as a starter, saw something in his medical records that made them think he would likely be a reliever long-term.
