Dodgers Pay the Price to Get Betts Over the last few days, it began to seem like a certainty that the Red Sox would ultimately deal Mookie Betts away. The Red Sox had been involved in lengthy discussions with both the Dodgers and Padres -- and ultimately it was the Dodgers who swung the blockbuster deal to bring one of the brightest young stars in all of baseball to Los Angeles. To make the deal come to fruition, the Red Sox and Dodgers had to pull the Twins into the deal -- making it a three-team trade.
