According to MLB Network Insider Ken Rosenthal, Red Sox star outfielder Mookie Betts is going to get traded, it’s just a matter of when.

Both the Dodgers and Padres are still in play and there’s the question of whether or not David Price would be included as well in the deal.
Betts won the MVP in 2018 as the Red Sox won the World Series but is owed $27 million this year and hasn’t shown any willingness to sign a long-term deal in Boston.
That, coupled with the Red Sox desires to get under the $208 million luxury tax threshold, have escalated these rumors.
We’ll have more today on ‘The Huddle’ from 3-6 PM.
