If there’s one thing Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts can point to that’s helped him find closure about how his tenure with the Boston Red Sox ended, it’s time.
“I think because it took so long before I came back that I didn’t really have much of a choice,” Betts said Friday before his first visit to Fenway Park since his February 2020 trade.He went into that winter a year away from the chance to test the free agent market, but in negotiations to remain with the Boston franchise that drafted him in 2011.
He also insists he doesn’t carry is any hard feelings about the decision the Red Sox made to trade him. Betts isn’t interested in is rehashing whether he was offered a $300 million deal by the Red Sox. He ultimately signed a $365 million, 12-year agreement with the Dodgers in July 2020. “It’s just the way the cookie kind of crumbled. Priorities changed. Things changed. Players change. Nobody really keeps a team together forever, right?” Betts said. “We had our run.”“The thing that I’m really enjoying now is that he’s able to kind of show people who he is,” Cora said. “It’s not about Boston or LA, I think it’s mature kid who has two kids, the wife and the family and is kind of like, ‘You know, what I’m comfortable now.
