After years of keeping his head down in Boston, the Dodgers star has become a multimedia force in the California spotlight.
There’s a popular theory in Boston that Betts wanted out anyway. That he would never have re-signed. That his quiet demeanor with the Red Sox and stated desire to be paid full market value were indications that he didn’t like Boston and was always looking for greener pastures.“We were happy in Boston,” his mother, Diana Collins, said. “We thought things were going well and were just going to pan out. … We had considered Boston would be our home.
“At worst, maybe if we weren’t good year, at the deadline or something, right?” he said. “I figured if I hadn’t signed by year five, you might as well just go to free agency and just hopefully re-sign, but you’ll see kind of what’s going on out there.”Betts didn’t realize he was on the verge of an unexpected breakthrough.
Betts tapped into the quietest parts of his personality to fit his environment. Even in the minor leagues, Betts was a lead-by-example type. He obsessed over his swing and he became relentless about pregame defensive drills , but he rarely spoke up in the clubhouse and never made a splash in public.
