Okay, it’s official.
The Dodgers won the trade.
After taking home nearly every piece of hardware imaginable in 2020, Mookie Betts added another award to his growing collection, as Sports Illustrated named him their Player of the Year last night.
MOOOKIE!
Congrats to @mookiebetts on winning the Player of the Year award after his incredible season with the @Dodgers#SIAwardshttps://t.co/3nzDy2RuqOpic.twitter.com/4rzRD5FT2N
— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) December 20, 2020This adds to an already incredible year for Betts, who was traded from the Red Sox to the Dodgers back in February. He took home a Gold Glove Award, Silver Slugger Award and finished second in MVP voting in the National League. Oh, and he also helped the Dodgers win a World Series championship.
On the season, Betts hit .292 with 16 home runs and 39 RBI. As you can see by his awards from earlier, Betts didn’t just dot it with the bat. In addition to being one of the best hitters in the National League, he was also the best right fielder as well. He provided a number of highlights in the outfield, most notably in October. Betts was also a force to be reckoned with on the bases, as he had 10 steals and impacted the game in more ways than one out there.
Just another friendly reminder for you that he will be wearing Dodger blue for the next decade.
Congrats, Mookie!

More about the Espys
Begun by cable sports channel ESPN in 1993, the annual ESPY Awards allows sports fans worldwide to join in an online vote for their favorites in such categories as Best Male Athlete, Best Female Athlete,Best Coach/Manager, and Team of the Year.
Unlike most awards shows, the ESPYs are probably most noted for its contribution to charity, as a portion of the proceeds is donated to The V Foundation, named for its founder, Jim Valvano.
The Arthur Ashe Courage Award is another ESPY highlight, honoring an individual for their personal courage or charitable works outside the sports arena, with past winners including such trailblazers as Muhammad Ali and tennis legend Billie Jean King.
