Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts will be a free agent after the 2020 season, and MLB executives told Andy McCullough of The Athletic that they believe the 2018 American League MVP's new deal will be more lucrative than Philadelphia Phillies' outfielder Bryce Harper's $330 million contract.
As McCullough noted, Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman has never signed a free agent to a deal of $100 million or more, but L.A. wants Betts to break that trend.
Per McCullough, the Dodgers also "intend to spend the entirety of 2020 selling Betts on sticking around as they pursue a title together.
