Red Sox Walk Away From Otto Lopez Trade Talks With Marlins
Negotiations between Boston and Miami collapsed over Miami's demand for elite prospects in exchange for the NL batting leader.
Trade discussions between the Red Sox and Marlins centered on shortstop Otto Lopez have ended without a deal, described as 'dead' by a beat reporter. Miami is seeking a package headlined by elite prospects, given Lopez has three-plus years of control remaining and leads the NL in batting. Boston possesses top-50 prospects Anthony Eyanson and Franklin Arias — the latter a consensus top-10 prospect — but was unwilling to meet Miami's price. The Marlins are not actively shopping Lopez but remain open to an offer they cannot refuse.
