Mookie Betts made his first appearance at a press conference with the Dodgers during the second rendition of Spring Training today. Among other things, Mookie discussed the Black Lives Matter movement across baseball and around the world. In his mind, MLB fell short.
Betts talked about the his potential free agency and David Price’s opt-out as well, but it was his statement on baseball that grabbed everyone’s attention. The Dodgers’ star did not seem very impressed with the way baseball chose to handle speaking out during this time of racial injustice and social change
Yeah, I think baseball did not do a good job with that.
