While this story is still developing, the Dodgers have finally struck to get him and they have silence all doubts. We do not know what prospects are involved in the deal at this juncture, but it appears to be entirely done pending physicals. Mookie Betts will in fact be a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020 and so will David Price.
Mookie Betts has made the Dodgers go from National League favorites to potential World Series favorites. David Price is also a very solid pitcher and the Dodgers will be lucky to have him.
We will update with full details as we receive them in terms of prospects and money involved within the trade.
According to Ken Rosenthal, there is a third team involved. According to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, Alex Verdugo will be heading to Boston.
In the proposed deal, Alex Verdugo and another player (from a third team) would go to the Red Sox.
