It’s been more than three years since the Red Sox dealt Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers in a three-team trade that landed Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong, and Jeter Downs.
Speaking with former Red Sox teammate Brock Holt on an episode of Foul Territory, Betts said he wasn’t ready for the trade at the time and wanted to stay in Boston long-term.
“I know people don’t believe it,” Betts said. “But I wanted to stay in Boston my whole career. That’s where I grew up. That’s my life. I knew everybody there.
