When the Dodgers traded for and signed Mookie Betts to a contract extension through 2022 before the 2020 season, I lamented that this contract would age poorly. Well, Mookie is signed for Seven (count ’em, 7) more seasons, and 2025 was the worst season of Mookie’s career! However, I am not as doom-and-gloomy as I was in 2020. Here’s why: Yes, last season was the worst of Mookie’s career. He hit .258 with a .732 OPS to go with 20 HR. That is pretty poor for a right-fielder (which is what I thought he was), but it’s much better for a Gold Glove Shortstop!
