Friday was a pretty good day for Mookie Betts.
The Boston Red Sox outfielder avoided arbitration by agreeing to a deal for 2019 that’s reportedly worth $20 million — a $9.5 million increase from the 2018 campaign.
Later in the day, Betts took to Twitter to share a pretty simple message.
Grateful!

Betts sure does have plenty to be grateful for.
Professionally there’s the excitement of the big deal, coupled with the fact the Red Sox are coming off a World Series win and he was the regular season MVP. But then there’s the personal side of things, as he and his fiancée welcomed a baby girl shortly after the season ended.
Good for Betts.
