Dodgers’ Dave Roberts Thinks Mookie Betts Takes it Personally When Teams Walk Shohei Ohtani

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.
