The Red Sox have a fan in one of their former stars.
In an appearance on the “All the Smoke” podcast, Mookie Betts admitted that he watches Red Sox games. The reasoning for it, though, might be a bit unconventional, sharing why he watches his former team when he was asked to name five players casual fans should watch.
“As quiet as it’s kept, I enjoy watching Red Sox games … because of Cora,” Betts said, referring to the Red Sox’ manager. “I love Alex Cora and I enjoy watching Red Sox games.”
Betts continued to say that he enjoys watching Red Sox games, but he re-litigated the discussion about his departure from Boston in doing so.
