Betts to the Dodgers

[King]

Per Kenny

 

Betts and Price for Verdugo +

[King]

Mystery team enters the fray

 

Ken Rosenthal

@Ken_Rosenthal

Involvement of third team also possible in #RedSox-#Dodgers blockbuster, source tells The Athletic. Again: Betts and Price would go to Dodgers, Alex Verdugo and others to Boston.

Passan bomb confirms it

 

No more mookie in the AL

Dodgers must be paying huge money if Verdugo's the centrepiece.

[Jimcanuck]

Dodgers team is fricking ridiculous now.

[Captain Adama]

Wow!

[Dr. Dinger]

Gotta include Lux and/or Gingergaard

[Spanky99]

Mystery team IS involved...

 

[Spanky99]

Verdugo's the centrepiece per Kenny Ken.

[Jimcanuck]

Boston's #5 starter is now Hector Velazquez.

Kenny said "Verdugo and others", which likely means he's the main guy in the deal. If it was Lux or May I'm guessing they would have been named.

 

I wonder who the 3rd team is.

Yeah he is...

 

[Jimcanuck]

Twins are the 3rd team. My guess is Graterol to Boston, Ruiz+ to Twins.

[Angrioter]

Pederson to Angels?

[Barkerfan23]

Look at the Redsox moving off of players at the perfect time.

[Spanky99]

So a 4 team trade? Cool Beans!

[glory]

Sounds like Dodgers, Red Sox, Twins, and Angels are all involved here. Rosenthal mentioned the Angels and Passan mentioned the Twins, and those two are the most reliable you will find, so sounds like a four team trade.

[Jimcanuck]

mlbtraderumours says May is not involved

Yep - trading Betts right before he enters his prime years and moving on from Price at age 34 coming off an injury plagued year. Incredible job by the Red Sox.

[Jimcanuck]

So Verdugo, Graterol to Boston for 1 year of Betts, Price, and cash.

 

Pretty good move for Boston.

Don't feed the troll bro.

[Jimcanuck]

Pederson to the Angels is interesting.... maybe they think Adell needs more seasoning.

[glory]

So from the reports, sounds like....

 

Twins get: Maeda

Red Sox get: Verdugo, Graterol (more?)

Dodgers get: Betts, Price, and half of Price's salary paid by the Red Sox

 

Of course there could be more to the deal, and no follow up to Joc/Angels yet.

[Orgfiller]

The Twins must believe with like 95% certainty that Graterol is a reliever, because trading him 1 for 1 for Maeda seems f***ing awful on the surface, and has to be a clear market value loss for them.

[P2F]

Rengifo to the Dodgers in a Joc Pederson deal. Hmmm...
