When the Los Angeles Dodgers completed their trade for Mookie Betts and David Price during the spring, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman gushed not only about the talented players the team acquired but also who they both are as people.
Friedman was particularly complimentary of Betts when relaying messages he received from various personnel with the Boston Red Sox and throughout baseball in general.
“I told him in all the digging that we do on players that we’re looking to acquire, the feedback we got from teammates, clubhouse guys and different guys he’s come across in his career, he would blush if he heard all the nice things that were said about him,” Friedman said at the introductory press conference.
