Mookie Betts trade: Boston Red Sox ‘making progress’ on revised deal with Dodgers; pitching prospect Brusdar - MassLive.com

EDITOR’S NOTE: The deal is reportedly done. Follow along for full coverage on the MassLive Boston Red Sox page.

The Red Sox have made progress in their efforts to finalize the blockbuster trade that would send Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers, according to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman. LaVelle Neal of the Minnesota Star-Tribune hears similarly, reporting that things have evolved enough for an announcement to possibly be made Sunday.

The three teams are likely to complete two separate deals, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe, with the Red Sox sending Betts, Price and cash to the Dodgers for outfielder Alex Verdugo and additional prospects and the Dodgers trading right-hander Kenta Maeda (and potentially another player) to the Twins for a package including righty Brusdar Graterol.

Graterol, who was originally slated to go to the Sox in a three-team deal before Boston found some problems with his medicals, is unlikely to go to the Red Sox in the trade, per Speier. The Red Sox, instead, will likely make a standalone trade with the Dodgers, sending Betts and Price west and getting Verdugo and others.

The Red Sox, Dodgers and Twins previously agreed to a three-team deal sending Betts, Price and cash to Los Angeles, Verdugo and Graterol to Boston and Maeda to Minnesota, but that possibility fell through once the Sox took issue with Graterol’s medical records. The major change in the revised version of the trades, will likely have Graterol going to the Dodgers and Los Angeles giving the Sox additional compensation for the Betts/Price package.

Three separate trades involving four teams -- the Red Sox, Dodgers, Twins and Angels -- are dependent on the sides resolving the differences. The Dodgers are reportedly set to send outfielder Joc Pederson and righty Ross Stripling to the Angels for a package that includes infielder Luis Rengifo, contingent on the Betts trade becoming official.

Red Sox pitchers and catchers are due to report to Fort Myers for spring training Tuesday, so a resolution should come sooner rather than later.
