Mookie Betts: Trade or Extend

[moonslav59]

Mookie has super quick twitch muscles and, I assume, very strong wrists and forearms. That's where he gets his power from.

 

And, where's the history on how twitch muscles age?

 

Crickets....

I've come to a conclusion...the idea of trading Mookie makes me nauseous.

 

are you on board with the GM Slasher deal of handing Mr. Betts a blank contract and letting him fill it in?

Note - this was my thinking prior to last season. as he gets closer to FA i dont do this deal. do i do it today? yes.

In Henry and Bloom I trust to make him the right offer. Nothing else we can do.

Betts tosses 16-pound bowling balls around for fun every offseason. He stays in shape.

And that insane throw he made this year. I don't think he lacks in brute strength.

Betts doesn't want to sign. He has already made life altering money. He doesn't need to give away his bargaining power.

The Sox only hope is the fact that last year, Bogaerts was in the same position. Except Xander was represented by an agent notorious for eschewing extensions prior to free agency, and especially the year before free agency...
