When David Ortiz asked Mookie Betts if the right outfielder expected to spend 12 years with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Betts admitted he didn’t always see it going that way.

« I initially thought I was going to be a Red Sox for life, » said Betts, who signed a 12-year, $ 365 million contract extension with the Dodgers in July, » but God always has a plan for things I was just following what he told me to do «
The conversation started with Betts saying he wished he looked as cool as Ortiz, to which Ortiz replied, « Oh yeah boy, I’m trying to be like you kid »
