To get Mookie Betts in a Dodgers uniform, Los Angeles had to make sacrifices. One of those sacrifices was young star, Alex Verdugo. The kid is thriving in Boston, but he’s also tired of being compared to Mookie Betts.
Speaking with media following a huge performance, Alex Verdugo was candid in his thoughts on Mookie Betts. He kept it simple, noting that Mookie is with the Dodgers and he’s now with Boston. Verdugo reiterated that him and Mookie were a part of the same trade, but that shouldn’t hold him to a certain standard.
I don’t think about Mookie.
