Source: Dodgers, Twins agree to new Maeda deal
In a separate deal from the Mookie Betts trade, the Dodgers are sending Kenta Maeda and cash to the Twins for Brusdar Graterol and the 67th pick, according to a source.
Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer

Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer
The Twins have not backed out of the initial three-team trade that would send Mookie Betts from the Red Sox to the Dodgers, I'm told. They are willing to renegotiate and attempt to work through it, though whether it ultimately gets figured out is uncertain. All sides want a resolution by reporting date.

Kendrys Morales talked to me about his decision to retire after a 13-year MLB career: “It was a hard decision but everything in life must come to an end. I spent many years, starting in Cuba, playing baseball and lost a lot of time with my family. That's one of the reasons why I made the decision to retire, to make up for lost time. Baseball has also changed, and maybe veteran players like me are not valued, so it's the best time for this decision. It's the right decision for me and my family.”
