    Deals like this rarely fall apart because of medicals on a prospect. It will get done. Just not immediately.

    Ward was a full time catcher at Fresno St. Don't think he played any 3B until a couple of years after he signed.

    Alex Speier of the Boston Globe just gave an update saying that while this situation is not normal in that Graterol is the secondary piece and he is what is holding up the deal, but it is not at a sign that things are falling apart behind the scenes. Sounds like the deal will be reworked according to his sources, potentially with the Twins adding another piece.

    Heyman, 5 minutes ago...
    “Red Sox are said to be trying to reconfigure the part of the Betts 3-team deal with the Twins (meaning more than Graterol). While there’s still hope the mega deal gets done in some form, some involved are now suggesting it’s not a certainty.”

    The problem I see is that apparently the Twins valued Graterol as a reliever, but apparently the Sox viewed him as a potential front of the rotation starter. That could be a huge problem when it comes to finding a median value in this.

    And here’s Rosenthal saying talks are going slowly... Dodgers may need to add another prospect to the deal.

    Smells like a pile of shit to me...how does a medical report explain that a pitcher isn't a starter but is OK to be a RP ??? Either you can throw or you can't. Is there some kind of a miracle exam now that tells you that ?

    I'm telling you the heat is on the bahstan FO and they're trying to wiggle out of this
    It's just a dance now to try and save face as men of their word going forward
    This is damage control while they try to undo what they committed to doing
    Remember these are cheating scum

    fwiw...
    The Twins may pony up more along with Graterol in a deal to Boston. They may switch prospects. Or they could be removed from the equation altogether. However, reports are that Minnesota is very interested in acquiring Kenta Maeda from Los Angeles.

    Twins and Sox are supposedly working towards a deal while not involving the Dodgers. All sides expect the deal to get done. Supposedly...
