We’re in the heart of winter and much of Red Sox Nation is preparing for what may be a heartbreaker of a season….again. While it’s hard to not look at the direct future we must have our eyes firmly planted on the 2021 offseason and the impending free agency of Mookie Betts.
The star centerfielder and former AL MVP made it clear that he’ll be dipping his toes into the free agency pool when the time comes. Boston has made some efforts in the past to retain the uber-talented dynamo but they’ve been rebuffed at every pass. Now with the 2020 season fast approaching that means that his possible departure is that much closer as well.
