We know this because if you are trying to win baseball games at all costs there is no reason to trade Mookie Betts, and given how likely a trade seems at this point, that ship has sailed. So… the Red Sox now have Betts under contract for $27 million for this year, after which he’s an unrestricted free agent. The question, crazy as it sounds, is how many of those parts the Red Sox even want. But as a headliner for a Betts deal he’s like guy who will forever be known as the headliner in a Mookie Betts deal. Also, I forgot that Mookie Betts is about my size.
