In the most stunning, blockbuster trade of the past several years in Major League Baseball, the Boston Red Sox have reportedly sent 2018 American League MVP outfielder Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers, in a deal that also ships lefty hurler David Price to Chavez Ravine. The deal was reported by ESPN correspondent Jeff Passan on his Twitter account, and quickly confirmed by other sources.
The deal could still face a a roadblock if either player fails to pass a medical review, however. The Red Sox are reportedly transmitting medical records for Betts and Price to the Dodgers Tuesday night.
Betts, 27, will be playing his final season before he becomes eligible for free agency in 2020, and had reportedly spurned multiple offers from the Red Sox to sign an extension to his deal that would keep him in Boston into his 30s. Whether he would sign a contract extension in Los Angeles is not yet known.
