Dodgers Superstars Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts Connected by More Than Baseball

Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman have a lot in common. Both won MVP Awards, won World Series titles, made All-Star teams, and won Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers with the teams that drafted them, and both eventually ended up with the Dodgers. Mookie came over in an early-2000 trade from the Red Sox, and Freddie signed two years later after the Braves decided to trade for Matt Olson instead of re-signing him.

When Freeman signed with Los Angeles last spring, he and Betts hit it off pretty quickly and became great friends.
