The Dodgers are now in the market for Mookie Betts, and a potential obstacle is one with which they are familiar: Money. But the Dodgers’ pursuit of Betts, like the team’s failed recruitments of Harper and Cole, can be resolved with cold hard cash. Instead of their best prospects, the Dodgers can offer the Red Sox additional salary relief. Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts returns to the dugout during a game against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park on September 29. It’s entirely possible another team will offer the Red Sox prospects who could be franchise cornerstones.
