Bradford estimates that Betts will earn between $27-30 million in arbitration for 2020.
Anthony Castrovince offers 20 "bold predictions" for the coming season, including:
3. The Red Sox won't trade Mookie Betts. They'll extend (or re-sign) him by year's end.
New chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom will get the club under the Competitive Balance Tax threshold and "reset" their tax burden, perhaps by moving a good chunk of the money owed to David Price or Nathan Eovaldi. But if one of baseball's most successful and relevant franchises in one of its biggest markets can't retain a homegrown superstar, something's amiss.

It would be a colossal mistake to let Betts leave Boston. He has all the signs of being a legitimate big-league threat for the next ten years or so. I definitely agree that there is opportunity to move salary in order to make this happen, as has already been identified.
