Red Sox owner Henry: Team had to trade Betts

Boston Red Sox owner John Henry said Monday he understands fans' feelings about the trade that sent star outfielder Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers but that the realities of today's game left the club little choice. Speaking at a news conference at the team's spring training home in Fort Myers, Fla., Henry said he knew how he would have felt had his boyhood team, the St. Louis Cardinals, traded Stan Musial.
