Daily Red Sox Links: Mookie Betts, Jason Groome, Hanley Ramirez

We already knew a hot streak from Mookie Betts was coming. It appears to have arrived. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Speaking of Betts, he and the Red Sox talked long-term extension in the offseason, but Betts chose to continue to go year to year. Only makes sense for a young superstar. (Jon Heyman; FanRag Sports)

Jason Groome hasn’t been able to show a ton on the field yet, but he has been impressing his teammates and coaches with his dedication. (Alex Speier; Boston Globe)

Hanley Ramirez played a full nine innings at first base on Wednesday and he looked good doing it. Can we talk about something else now? (Jason Mastrodonato; Boston Herald)

Daniel Nava is excited that fellow Independent League alum Robby Scott has caught on and had success with the Red Sox. (Christopher Smith; MassLive)

John Farrell didn’t pinch-hit for Pablo Sandoval in the ninth last night. Is there more to that decision than meets the eye? (Evan Drellich; CSNNE)

Eduardo Rodriguez may be back sooner than we hoped and that would be a major help as pitchers continue to drop for the Sox. (Peter Abraham; Boston Globe)
