Former American League Most Valuable Player Mookie Betts’s future with the Red Sox is uncertain.
Betts, who has one year remaining on his contract, has reportedly turned down multiple attempts from the Red Sox to ink him to a long-term deal over the past few seasons, and it’s possible he’ll be on the move in the coming months. Regardless of where he plays this year, he’ll get a significant – perhaps record-setting – amount of money when he hits free agency at the end of the season.
The question now is whether he stays with the Red Sox for one more year or whether they decide to trade him to save money and potentially get a better crop of prospects in return.
