Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts is known for making headlines with his game-changing plays, but his latest contract negotiation has nothing to do with baseball. According to sources close to the Betts household, the superstar outfielder has officially signed a “marriage extension” with his wife, Brianna Hammonds—but not without some strict household terms.
The agreement, which insiders are calling “one of the toughest negotiations since his Dodgers contract”, reportedly includes a crucial clause: Mookie is no longer allowed to leave dishes in the sink under any circumstances.
The Terms of the Agreement
While the details of this marriage extension remain mostly private, sources say Hammonds made it clear that certain household habits needed adjusting before she agreed to any “long-term deal.”
“Mookie is a five-tool player on the field, but at home, he’s been struggling with the fundamentals—specifically, cleaning up after himself,” a family friend joked. “So Brianna put her foot down. No more dirty dishes left in the sink. It’s either clean it or don’t use it.”
Other rumored terms in the agreement include:
Laundry Efficiency Clause: Mookie must sort colors correctly or face a fine (in the form of extra date nights).
Quality Time Requirement: At least three uninterrupted movie nights per month, no baseball talk allowed.
Vacation Incentives: If the Dodgers win the World Series, Mookie has to plan a trip—without Brianna having to remind him.
Mookie’s Response
When asked about the new agreement, Betts laughed and admitted that he had no leverage in negotiations.
“Look, I’ve won Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers, and even a World Series ring,” Betts said, shaking his head. “But getting Brianna to say yes to this extension? Hardest thing I’ve ever done. The ‘No Dishes in Sink’ rule is non-negotiable. I just gotta adjust my game.”
Teammates quickly weighed in on Betts’ new deal, with Freddie Freeman joking, “That’s tougher than any contract I’ve ever signed. Mookie, man, stay strong.” Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani, who is new to the team, reportedly asked if this kind of deal was normal in American marriages.
Fans React
Fans quickly took to social media to comment on the news, with some calling it “the biggest win of Mookie’s career” and others suggesting that Hammonds should negotiate MLB contracts.
“If Brianna can get Mookie to do dishes, the Dodgers should put her in charge of getting our bullpen in shape,” one fan tweeted.
With his baseball future secure and his household terms set, Mookie Betts is now preparing for two major seasons: one with the Dodgers and one at home, where he’ll be working hard to avoid household penalties.
