Pederson/Stripling deal is DEAD. MOVE ON.

Getting Graterol for their own pen makes them better than Downs would’ve in the short term. Downs was in Class A Rancho Cucamonga last season, so he was at least two years away from being in LA.

Seriously, a horrible look for this Red Sox GM.  The Dodgers obviously wanted Betts enough to cough up another top 10 prospect.  He didn’t get it the first time.  Insane incompetence. 

Can we definitively state that the deal was closed by the actual teams? None of us have personal insight into this situation other than what was broadcast via the news. Additionally there are conflicting viewpoints about who reported this and when they did it, possibly without full confirmation of medicals, etc.

I agree that the perception of the Red Sox in this situation is not good but if a deal was not agreed to in principal and full medicals evaluated and approved, that is not by definition a completed transaction from my understanding.

It sounds like it got really close to completion and then the Graterol medicals blew up the original deal. The resulting change in Graterol going to the Dodgers changed the basic deals in place which also adjusted the underlying values changing hands and thus may have resulted in the addition of the prospect.
