Bummer. Mookie Betts won’t participate in the Home Run Derby. It would have been fun to see him out there but it sounds like he doesn’t want any part of it.
Plus, word now that JD Martinez has also said he doesn’t want in on the derby.

Which, in all reality, i’m totally fine with. Let’s focus on what matters here and in the end who really cares about the derby. Am I right?
Tom is the owner of RedSoxAholics and an avid Boston Sports Fan. Tom grew up as an avid baseball card collector with favorite players including Dwight Evans, Mo Vaughn, Pedro Martinez, Dustin Pedroia, and Mike Greenwell.
Don’t really care, just another way for our star player to get hurt. Let him sit it out.
Bummer–would have liked to see him dominate this
