Mookie Betts Bids Farewell To Jackie Bradley Jr. In Heartfelt Instagram Comment

Jackie Bradley Jr. will miss Mookie Betts, and the feeling is mutual.

The Red Sox and Dodgers on Sunday reportedly agreed to a trade that will send Betts and David Price to Los Angeles for Alex Verdugo and two promising prospects. Thus, Betts’ brief, yet remarkable career in Boston has come to an end.

Bradley was among those who took to social media to bid farewell to Betts. And, in what apparently is his first public comment on the trade, Betts delivered a heartfelt reply to Bradley’s Instagram post.
