Bryce Harper on Mookie Betts' Next Contract: 'I Hope' He Breaks My $330M Record
Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper said Tuesday he's rooting for Boston Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts to eclipse his 13-year, $330 million contract.
Harper told John Tomase of NBC Sports Boston he's always been a fan of Betts, who has one year of arbitration left before potentially becoming an unrestricted free agent after the 2020 MLB season.
"Just like [the Los Angeles Angels' Mike] Trout did," Harper said of Betts beating his contract. "Mookie's an incredible player. If he has an opportunity to make more money than I do, then I hope he does."
