Mookie Betts has stayed busy this offseason after winning a second-consecutive World Series championship with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Betts provided commentary as a correspondent at the MLB Open, a new competitive golf tournament featuring current and former MLB stars at Shadow Creek course. He followed that by co-hosting the 2025 MLB Awards Show alongside renowned comedian, Emmy-nominated producer and baseball fanatic Roy Wood Jr.
The Dodgers’ shortstop can add one more event to the list after he was named a coach for this year’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Game held at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood.

The celebrity game will be Friday, Feb. 13, at 4 p.m. PT as part of the NBA All-Star Weekend. Rosters for each team have yet to be revealed.
Betts has a reputation as a multi-sport athlete, especially bowling, but he enjoys golf and basketball as well.
Playing for Team USA in the 2026 World Baseball Classic is one event that he will not be participating in, as he and his wife, Brianna, expect their third child during the tournament window.
The Dodgers star explained that the baby’s due date falls in the middle of the WBC schedule and that being present for the birth takes priority over joining the United States roster.
Mookie Betts planning to retire at end of Dodgers contract
The Dodgers signed Betts to a 12-year, $365 million contract extension after acquiring him in a trade with the Boston Red Sox in February 2020.
The 33-year-old recently revealed he is already thinking about his future plans and said he is going to retire after the 2032 season when his contract with the Dodgers expires.
Betts has seven seasons remaining with the Dodgers, including 2026, if his statement holds true. That would mean his career in Los Angeles will have lasted twice as long as it did in Boston.
The eight-time All-Star is on a Hall of Fame trajectory, having won four World Series titles, seven Silver Sluggers, four Gold Gloves and the 2018 American League MVP Award.
