Former Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts says he doesn’t hold any hard feelings toward his old team, but he couldn’t help it if the business of baseball came between them.
Betts dished to GQ about his much-discussed exit from the Red Sox, who traded him to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the 2020 season. The star rightfielder went on to sign a massive contract and immediately won a World Series with his new team last season.
But Betts also opened up about his difficult early career in the Red Sox’s minor league system, a time that almost brought his career to an end.
