Mookie Betts Injury and Concerns
“He's 33 years old now. He's done a lot more weight training to gain back his weight this offseason and into spring training. We've seen him with Sensei Yada on his shoulders. So to me, this is a little concerning.”
Tyler Glass’s Evolution and Confidence
“I think the success that he's had here parlayed with what he did in the World Series. He can really trust his body. He can really get out of his head when it comes to all the delivery stuff because he's a very cerebral guy.”
Andy Paez’s Breakout and Defensive Brilliance
“He got to a ball in left center field that Alex Call couldn't get to, and he made the catch. So yeah, he's playing great center field.”
“The Dodgers, what has separated them from any other era of Dodger baseball and any other team in the last 15 years is the fact that, yeah, they haven't won the World Series every year, but they've been there consistently.”
“This is so unique that the Dodgers were able to sign Otani and that he had this idea, this concept of deferring the majority of his salary.”
“I think the success that he's had here parlayed with what he did in the World Series. He can really trust his body. He can really get out of his head when it comes to all the delivery stuff because he's a very cerebral guy.”
