Red Sox Rumors: What it would take to trade for Mookie Betts

Mookie Betts will go down as one of the best Boston Red Sox players of all time. Despite his MVP-caliber play over the last four years, he is on the trading block and may not be manning Boston’s right field on Opening Day.

Many don’t want Betts traded and for good reason – the odds of acquiring a player with the repertoire of him is near impossible. Also, Betts could be a franchise player for the Red Sox, the new Dustin Pedroia.

He had a down year in 2019 by his standards, but he was still 35% better than the league average hitter.
