NEW YORK — Mookie Betts closed the book on the best season of his career on Saturday night when he accepted his Most Valuable Player award at the 96th annual New York Baseball Writers’ Association of America dinner.
“Definitely. It’s all over now,’’ Betts said. “A couple more weeks until spring training starts. I’m in work mode now. Last season is over.’’
Betts said he has been ramping up his workouts and plans to arrive in Fort Myers, Fla., for spring training Feb. 12.
