Your team didn’t lock down a generational talent before he ever played a game for the team?

Can’t relate.

The Red Sox could've paid Mookie Betts the $350-400 million he's about to get from the Dodgers. They chose not to. Don't ever forget that.

What I've learned from all of this is that the next time a team wants to trade a player with hopes of re-signing said player, they shouldn't do that.
