The dominant story around the Boston Red Sox heading into the 2020 season has been the status of Mookie Betts. Entering the final year of his contract with the team and due to improve upon the $20 million he scored in 2019, speculation and rumors have been running rampant all offseason.
Will the Red Sox trade Mookie before the season? At the All-Star break? Will they be able to re-sign him long-term? Will he walk away for nothing at the end of the season? All of these options are very real and each carries both huge risks and benefits with them.
