Former New York Met and New York Yankee Gary Sheffield spoke to TMZ on Monday about Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts. Trade talks involving Betts — who is currently one of the top players in baseball — have been occurring for months. Many believe the Red Sox will look to trade Betts instead of potentially just letting him walk when he becomes a free agent next year.
Sheffield noted that the Red Sox would be stupid to rid themselves of a player like that. Nonetheless, he said if Boston does end up trading him and sends him to the Los Angeles Dodgers — another one of Sheffield’s former teams — that could guarantee a World Series title for the National League powerhouse.
