We’re officially on “Mookie Betts Watch” as the superstar right fielder is the talk of the baseball town right now. The Red Sox have made attempts to sign him long-term but those efforts have been denied by the former MVP. Trade talks have gotten white-hot in the last week or so with the Padres and even the Dodgers becoming possible suitors.
The Padres have been the favorite to land Betts’ services as they’re been the most heavily focused on by those that cover the league. The Dodgers could obviously afford Mookie but they have their own soon to be free agents to worry about.
