Red Sox Players Congratulate Mookie Betts On Winning 2018 AL MVP Award

Mookie Betts’ trophy case got a little more crowded Thursday night.

Betts has been raking in the hardware following the Boston Red Sox’s World Series victory, including a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger. But baseball’s highest individual honor found its way into Betts’ possession when the star outfielder took home the 2018 American League MVP Award in convincing fashion.

While Red Sox fans were overjoyed by Betts earning the honor, his teammates might have been even more excited. Here are some congratulatory messages Betts received from fellow 2018 World Series champs via Instagram:
