Padres Discussing Mookie Betts Trade
5 years agoThe San Diego Padres have discussed a trade centered around Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts, according to sources. The Padres have significant prospect talent that they could send to Boston in exchange for the All-Star outfielder, and Boston would also receive outfielder Wil Myers in such a swap. Betts has been mentioned as a trade candidate this offseason as the Red Sox look to shed payroll. He'll be eligible for free agency after the 2021 season. A move to Petco Park would dim some of Betts' fantasy appeal, but the 27-year-old is still one of the best young all-around players in the game. He slashed .295/.391/.524 with 29 long balls, 135 runs, 80 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 597 at-bats in 2019.
