Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts isn’t afraid to admit that he is still unsure whether or not the 2020 MLB season will actually take place in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Betts, who was traded to the Dodgers as part of a mega-deal with the Boston Red Sox last offseason, stated in a press conference with team reporters via a video call that he isn’t completely convinced that the 2020 season will actually take place.
The past few days have seen baseball stars such as Braves 1B Freddie Freeman and Rangers OF Joey Gallo test positive for the virus as well as players like the Braves’ Nick Markakis and the Dodgers’ David Price say that they will skip the season due to health concerns.
Betts said in the press conference that he is not completely convinced that the league’s safety protocol will be successful and that all players will be able to attain to it.
The Dodgers outfielder, the 2018 AL MVP, and a four-time All-Star is set to play one season in Los Angeles before hitting the free-agent market next offseason.
It seems as if he still has significant doubts, however, as to whether or not he will actually suit up in Dodger blue.
