The night show on EEI last night talked out buying rentals for minimal prospect outlay then selling Betts in the offseason. He makes a good point. If DD goes to Betts with a realistic contract offer (8yrs $240 mil or so) and Betts turns it down, he should 100% be dealt. No point in having a swan song with him when he can walk for nothing. Think about it, when Theo was GM, Betts would walk for a 1st rounder and a 1st supp pick. When Ben was GM, Betts would walk for a 1st round supp pick. If Betts walks after 2020, the sox get a 4th round supp pick. Not even worth holding onto him in that case.
