Mookie Betts becomes latest Dodgers player to skip White House visit, insists it's 'not political'

Mookie Betts, a Los Angeles Dodgers player, will skip the team's White House visit following their 2025 World Series win, citing family time with his newborn. The decision comes amid ongoing criticism from left-wing groups and media for the team's previous acceptance of a White House invitation in 2024. Betts insists his choice is apolitical.
