Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts doesn't think that having big stars together on a team could make much of a difference in baseball since it's a team game and said the team's the most important thing to think about to win a game. In the latest episode of ALL THE SMOKE released on Thursday, Betts shared his thoughts about his teammates Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman.
The co-host Stephen Jackson asked Betts about the last time he saw two big players like him and Ohtani on the same team playing together. Betts in response referenced Ohtani's previous tenure with the Los Angeles Angels as the $700M star (per ESPN) played alongside the Angels star Mike Trout.
Betts said he doesn't think that having two great stars on a team could help win games.
"I mean, when he was, him [Ohtani] and Trout were on the team together, you know, that was, you know. Yeah, that was true. But I mean, that, that kind of lets you know, like, it's not even just me, Ohtani, Freddie, it's like the rest of the guys. You just like anything else, you need to, you really need a whole team to win," Betts said. [6:40 onwards]
