Though he’s no longer playing for the Red Sox, Mookie Betts recently explained that his departure from Boston was not because he didn’t enjoy playing for the team.
Betts, who was traded to the Dodgers in 2020 in exchange for Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong and Jeter Downs, discussed his time with the Red Sox in an interview with WEEI’s Rob Bradford on the podcast, “The Bradfo Sho.”
“I just don’t want anybody, especially when I go back, man, I don’t want it to be like it was hatred or I didn’t want to be there,” Betts told Bradford.
