Two years ago this week, Betts signed a 12-year, $365 million contract before even playing a game for the Dodgers. So far, that relationship has produced a World Series title and an All-Star start.
Two years ago this week, Mookie Betts and the Dodgers entered into a committed relationship.
Time travel might be possible by 2044. If it is, Betts would go back in time and tell his 2020 self to sign on the dotted line. He is here for a very long time. But long-term contracts like Betts’ seem to come with buyer’s remorse built in – think Albert Pujols’ 10-year deal with the Angels or Robinson Cano’s 10-year deal with the Seattle Mariners .
Clayton Kershaw is certainly driven to be great. He signed the longest contract of his career in January 2014, a seven-year deal that became an eight-year commitment when he opted out following the 2018 season and signed a new three-year deal. For Kershaw, signing that contract brought with it certain responsibilities.“Obviously you did something in the game well enough to get that. You did it so you’ve gotten it.
“He’s trying to make people around him better,” Roberts says. “That’s one of the things when you sign someone like that – the bet is not always just on the performance every single year of the 12 years. It’s how can he make people around him better? It’s an organization commitment, clearly. I just don’t see a better person for that.”
