Mookie Betts Agrees to $27 Million Salary For 2020

Mookie Betts agreed to a record-setting arbitration deal on Friday, signing a contract for 2020 for $27 million.

Betts, who turned 27 last October, has said several times over the past few seasons that he will see what the free agency market can offer after the 2020 season.

In March 2019, Betts said: "I love it here. This is a great place to be, to spend your career here. That doesn't mean you sell yourself short." Last July, he said: "I love the front office, my teammates, coaches. Everybody. It's been nothing but amazing here.
