While Mookie Betts’ future with the Red Sox remains uncertain, one former teammate has weighed in his trade rumors.
Former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz spoke to NBC Boston’s Phil Perry on Thursday about his ‘little brother’ and his approaching unrestricted free agency after the 2020 season. With rumors that both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Padres are interested in a potential trade deal, and Betts’ having not reached an agreement with the Red Sox, it’s possible that he could walk as a free agent.
Ortiz, who thinks Betts is too valuable for the Red Sox to lose, shared his thoughts.
