Mookie Betts says he doesn’t regret turning down the Boston Red Sox offer to re-sign him.
When the Los Angeles Dodgers traded for Mookie Betts in the offseason, nobody could have predicted the unique circumstances that would soon follow and turn the entire 2020 season and 2021 offseason on its head.
Speaking to the media for the first time since the pandemic curtailed what was supposed to be his first season playing in Dodger blue, Mookie Betts said he has no regrets about turning down the Boston Red Sox contract extension last winter, which was believed to be around $300 million.
