The Boston Red Sox could be in a very different position had they not traded Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers ahead of the 2020 season.
Boston's decision to part ways with the star outfielder has become a contentious topic among Red Sox fans over the last several seasons, especially with the club no longer a top competitor in the American League East.
Many fans blamed the Red Sox for not wanting to pay Betts, who went on to sign a 12-year, $365 million extension with the Dodgers shortly after being dealt, while others claimed he no longer wanted to play for the club.
