Mookie Betts: 'I don't regret turning down' $300 million Red Sox offer

Mookie Betts heads into this MLB season with much uncertainty after signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. But the outfielder says he does not regret declining a $300 million offer with the Boston Red Sox even if it means less money down the road.

"I don't regret turning down that," Betts told reporters. "Once I make a decision, I make a decision. I'm not going back and questioning myself. I don't worry about that. The market will be what the market is. We'll cross that bridge when we get there."

In fact Betts says right now he's much more focused on the upcoming season, rather than free agency:

"Free agency is really on the back burner," Betts said. "That'll come. That's nothing that I'm really thinking about right now. Right now, the main concern is (safety). There's a lot going on, we haven't gotten tests back and we don't know who's sick and not sick. There's just a lot going on that needs to be addressed and free agency is not one of those things right now. That will come when it comes."

Betts believes that before he can even start thinking about free agency, he needs to see if the season is going to happen.

"We have to get to the season first," he said. "We've got camps being shut down, people going three or four days without tests. You just don't know what's going on. I know it's hard. I'm not blaming, or saying this, that or the other, I know it's hard. But somebody's got to do it. And we've got to just figure out the right way to do it."
