The Red Sox must extend Mookie Betts

While a lot of players stress in the off-season regarding workouts, trades and contracts, Mookie Betts keeps it calm, cool and collected. Whether he’s bowling, or just hanging out in his Tennessee home, Betts has little reason to feel the off-season stress as he is set for a big jump in salary. Under contract with the Red Sox until the 2020 season, Betts is set to enter his first year of arbitration.

For those unfamiliar with the arbitration process it occurs when players have three or more years of MLB service time, but less than six, to become eligible for salary arbitration.
