If we acquire Price, they better DFA his ass. Dude is straight cancer. Throws teammates under the bus

 

In his defense, he didn't throw any teammates under the bus when they cheated in 2018.

 

MLB Rumors: Who the Dodgers could send Red Sox in Mookie Betts trade

We've heard plenty about the San Diego Padres' pursuit of Mookie Betts over the last few days.

But don't sleep on their National League West competitor.

The Los Angeles Dodgers remain "strongly in the mix" for a trade involving Betts, MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported Thursday.

The Athletic's Andy McCullough also reports Los Angeles "remains engaged" with Boston in Betts trade talks, and that dialogue involving the All-Star outfielder has "approached a resolution."

As Heyman and McCullough both point out, the Dodgers are loaded with the payroll and the prospects to pull off a Betts deal.

Not all of L.A.'s prospects are on table: The Dodgers "lack interest" in dealing top prospects Gavin Lux and Dustin May, McCullough reported.

Tomase: Why now is the time to trade Mookie Betts

But the club has plenty of other enticing pieces it could send Boston in a Betts trade, per McCullough:

 

Their organization features a plethora of other options — from big-league assets like Enrique Hernández and Chris Taylor to up-and-coming performers like outfielder Alex Verdugo and pitcher Tony Gonsolin to farmhands like catching prospect Keibert Ruiz or pitching prospect Josiah Gray — from which (Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim) Bloom could build a reasonable package for Betts.

 

Red Sox fans will recognize Hernandez and Taylor, versatile utilitymen who both appeared in all five games of the 2018 World Series. The 23-year-old Verdugo hit .294 with an .817 OPS over 106 games last season, while the 25-year-old Gonsolin posted a 2.93 ERA over 40 innings pitched.

Ruiz is L.A.'s fifth-ranked prospect (No. 73 overall in MLB's Top 100 prospects for 2020) and could be an intriguing option for the catcher-depleted Red Sox, while Gray ranks fourth in the Dodgers' system.

Would the Dodgers' package for Betts trump what the Padres could offer? It appears we may find out soon, as pitchers and catchers report to spring training in less than two weeks.

can little davey be included in the trade?
they need a manager and he's part of their history

 

I heard they need a manager.

 

Interesting take of why they are trading Betts I would not take Price unless they take Pollock Jansen and Kelly. Because. Betts going to want to get paid plus that will dictate better prospect return

I think we should pass on Price at all cost unless they take on Kelly Jansen and Pollock. Price is injury risk plus Betts won’t come cheap at a long term.

But we should hold on to Verdugo. We should make Taylor Hernandez Ruiz Rios and Peters expendable

 

AF would miss his drinking buddy

 

This shit drives me nuts. If I am in front of my computer, I have twitter on its own monitor and I am constantly hitting refresh. If not on my computer, checking twitter like every 5 minutes. Just want a resolution to this shit.

 

According to a reporter out of Boston, it seems the Dodgers are the ones holding this up as they can not come to an agreement within the FO whether they want Price in the deal or not.

 

I figured that the issue is Betts becomes a rental and Price is an expensive risk

 

If we take on Price they have to take Pollock and Jansen

 

Not a chance. It would be Pollock and Pollock only in terms of bad money, otherwise the deal makes little to no sense for the Sox.

 

The cheaters don’t get a free pass

 

Lol. Deal wouldn’t match up but one can dream I guess?!?
