Looking At Betts

He has been with the Dodgers for seven seasons.
That said, Betts is currently on the IL.
Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic wrote (on April 10): “Dave Roberts said Mookie Betts is “symptom-free” with his strained right oblique. He won’t be activated when he’s eligible, but a good sign.”
The four-time World Series Champion spent the first six years of his career playing for the Boston Red Sox.
He won the 2018 MVP Award (and has been named to eight All-Star Games).
Over 1,539 career games, Betts is batting .290 with 293 home runs, 920 RBI’s, 1,173 runs and 196 stolen bases.
