My concern is that this seems like the Lester situation to me and I believe if Mookie walks out the door it's because the Sox didn't want to pay his asking price in the first place.
He was a good little player who averaged about 135 games per season. Great glove. Overrated offense. He was HOF level 2008 - 2011. He was really good 2012 - 2016.
Annual reminder for everyone to get Jay Jaffee's "Cooperstown Casebook" that came out in 2017. It's a great read and goes into the history of how some shittier players got in the HOF and what guys have been inexplicably left out.
