Days after Mookie Betts signed a record $26 million, one-year deal to avoid arbitration, his teammate David Price gave his prediction about the outfielder’s future in Boston.
In an interview with WBZ’s Jonny Miller, Price affirmed past comments from Betts about wanting to explore free agency, and said the four-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner has “earned the right” to do so.
“He’s said it multiple times, he’s going to go the free agent market,” Price said. “He’s not saying he won’t sign with Boston once he hits free agency or anything like that.
