It finally happened. No, I’m not talking about anything with Kris Bryant or Willson Contreras. The Boston Red Sox pulled the trigger on a blockbuster deal, sending homegrown All-Star outfielder Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers along with left-hander David Price in what can only be called a painful move for Red Sox Nation.
Betts, whom Boston drafted back in the fifth round of the 2011 MLB Draft, has built quite the resume with the Red Sox. He won a World Series ring in 2018, earned four All-Star selections, won a batting title and AL MVP honors and also took home three Silver Sluggers and four Gold Glove awards.
