I hope you weren’t planning on having a super happy Wednesday. The baseball world appears to be heading towards its first major transaction since the transaction freeze was lifted — that is, if you don’t count the Red Sox acquiring Dylan Covey — and it includes a very familiar name. According to rumors swirling around the interwebs, first brought up by WEEI’s Lou Merloni, Mookie Betts is nearing a big extension with the Dodgers.
So, yeah. There’s a lot to unpack here as a Red Sox fan, and I think the immediate reaction for a lot of us is a mix of anger and sadness.
