Mookie Betts doesn’t need any more motivation.
He wants to win as many World Series as possible. He wants to be a Hall of Famer. He wants to finish his career as one of the greatest ever.
However, this year, Betts has seemed to get a little extra motivation by maybe not even being the best player on his own team.
When the Dodgers signed Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million deal this offseason, Betts officially became the second-best player on his team. Ohtani is probably the only player in the world who could push Betts to that status.
