    Mookie isn't going to sign with anyone before FA.

    Not unless the Dodgers give him an offer with a 4 at the start of it.

    I gained so much respect for Xander last year, for many reasons. At the same time, right or wrong, I lost some respect for Mookie.

    Right, because he has the player's union to think about.

    Plus I don't know why we have suddenly gotten convenient memory for who Mookie has as an agent.

    I was agreeing with you.

    I am rolling my eyes at Mookie saying that he needs to go to free agency because he has the player's union to think about.

    Unless Mookie decides that, if he can get a 4 with only one team bidding, maybe he can get a 5 in free agency...

    Mookie is beyond that point Kimmi. Benintendi got a nice signing bonus, but not he is set to make his first big contract. $10 mil sets him up for life when you add in his $3+ mil signing bonus. Betts is already set for life. With his 3 arb years, he will make $57 mil over the 3 seasons. If he shatters his leg on the field, then he has more money than he probably could have dreamed of. He is content to wait and he has the money to be patient for
    Hal sucks

    Having Bogey, JD and Devers hitting behind him is not a bad thing.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Beni's biggest challenge has been batting lead off. I struggle with putting him back there now that Mookie will be out of the batting order.

    My only real hope for Beni batting lead off in 2020 is that having a contract at least takes that pressure off of him. Maybe and I do mean MAYBE he will do better from the 1 hole given he has a two year contract under his belt. Though their inconsistency does not take the same form Beni from 1 reminds me of JBJ from ANYWHERE!
