“I won’t be going there. I decided not to.”

“I won’t be going there,” Betts told the Globe. “I decided not to.”

Betts made his comments following the New York Baseball Writers’ Association of America dinner, where he received the MVP trophy.

Betts joins third baseman Rafael Devers in saying he would not visit the White House. Lefthander Eduardo Rodriguez said it was unlikely he would attend. Two others players, shortstop Xander Bogaerts and infielder Eduardo Nunez, were undecided as of last week.
