Kenta Maeda to Twins, Brusdar Graterol to Red Sox as part of massive trade

Kenta Maeda Dodgers

The massive trade between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Boston Red Sox includes a third team and even more players.

The Dodgers and Red Sox have been talking about a Mookie Betts trade for much of the offseason, and the two sides agreed on a deal Tuesday night that is pending physicals. The Minnesota Twins are also involved in the deal, according to numerous reports.

Here are the teams and players reportedly involved in the trade:

DODGERS
Get: Mookie Betts, David Price, cash from Red Sox; *Luis Rengifo from Angels (in separate trade)
Give: Alex Verdugo to Boston, Kenta Maeda to Minnesota; *Joc Pederson to Angels (in separate trade)

RED SOX
Get: Alex Verdugo from Dodgers, Brusdar Graterol from Twins
Give: Mookie Betts, David Price, cash to Dodgers

TWINS
Get: Kenta Maeda from Dodgers
Give: Brusdar Graterol to Red Sox

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal first reported the Maeda/Graterol part of the deal.

The Angels and Dodgers are separately making a trade. Jeff Passan reports that the Angels are sending Luis Rengifo to the Dodgers for outfielder Joc Pederson.

Graterol is a 21-year-old pitching prospect from Venezuela. He pitched 9.2 innings in relief for the Twins last season, working all the way up to MLB from rookie ball.
