During a White House event, Donald Trump commented on Mookie Betts' impressive achievements since the Red Sox traded him to the Dodgers. Betts has since won two World Series, contributing significantly to the Dodgers' success, including a key performance in the last postseason, where he batted .290. Trump reminisced about the trade, asserting it was a mistake, given Betts' remarkable career milestones, including multiple All-MLB First-Team selections and a career-high 39 home runs in 2023, emphasizing the contrasting fortunes of both teams post-trade.
"I didn't think that was a particularly good trade when they made it, and I happened to be right," Trump said.
"Oh is he good!" Trump explained before he walked over to Betts.
All four of Betts's All-MLB First-Team appearances came after he was traded to the Dodgers.
Mookie acted as a pivotal player, not only helping the Dodgers to championships, but also standing out individually through remarkable statistics.
