- Mookie Betts Announces New Partnership for Tequila Brand Before Twins Game
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts made an off-field announcement on Monday, ahead of the team's series opener against the Minnesota Twins .
Betts, a four-time World Series champion and the active leader in titles, is in his seventh season with the Dodgers. The 33-year-old is batting .218 with a .280 on-base percentage, eight home runs and 19 RBIs across 43 games in an injury-interrupted season. He remains an eight-time All-Star, six-time Gold Glove winner and a 2018 MVP.

His latest headline, though, came away from the field. After co-founding Tequila Providencia with chief executive Rodd Rafieha, Betts spent much of the offseason promoting the additive-free tequila himself, signing bottles at grocery stores and retailers across Los Angeles .

Months later, and amid the 2026 season, Betts announced a new partnership through Instagram on Monday between Tequila Providencia and Gelson's Markets, a supermarket chain that operates throughout Southern California, putting the tequila on shelves throughout the region and shifting his brand from personal appearance trips to a spot at an upscale market.

"If my name is on it, you better believe it's going to be premium, pure, and built to last," Betts states on the brand's website .
Providencia launched its premium line in January and already reached store shelves at Costco, Total Wine and BevMo. The single-distillery tequila is made from highland blue Weber agave in Jalisco, Mexico.

With the Gelson's partnership in hand, Betts continues to build on a growing portfolio of work, including a podcast, television spots and more. He has said he plans to continue to build Providencia in earnest once his playing days end.
