Richest MLB Contracts: Mookie Betts Trails Mike Trout, Passes Bryce Harper

Just one day before the abbreviated 2020 season begins, it was reported that superstar Mookie Betts and the Dodgers are nearing a massive extension.

The new contract is reportedly worth at least $380 million and will keep Betts in Los Angeles for the next 13 seasons, including 2020, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Betts, who would have become a free agent for the first time this upcoming offseason, is a four-time All-Star and the winner of the 2018 American League MVP Award. The Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers in February because of how much money he was expected to get on the open market.
