Buster Olney of ESPN reports the asking price for Mookie Betts in trade negotiations with the Red Sox remains "sky high". (ESPN)

Fantasy Impact
Olney reports that Boston is asking for two top-end prospects in exchange for Betts. Additionally, the Red Sox then want a team to take on David Price's contract as well. It's unlikely that another team would be willing to pay such a steep price for just one guaranteed year of Betts. The longer this plays out the more likely it becomes that he remains in Boston for 2020.
