According to
The Boston Globe's
Alex Speier,
the Red Sox have renewed the contract of Mookie Betts for $950,000. This represents the second-highest salary
ever for a non-arbitration eligible player with more than two years of playing time. The only higher such contract was given to
Mike Trout at an even $1 million. Still, this is pretty bad news—since they could not agree on a contract extension for the 2017 season. So, two
wicked bad pieces of news on this Thursday—first
David Price's looming visit to
Dr. Andrews (and possible
Tommy John surgery) and now this.
