The Los Angeles Dodgers began their season overseas with a successful two-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs, despite missing key players Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman due to health issues. Betts is dealing with a severe stomach ailment, while Freeman suffered from rib discomfort. Team members and manager Dave Roberts emphasized the depth and talent of the roster, crediting their successful offseason acquisitions for allowing them to remain competitive in their absence, a move deemed essential given the circumstances facing the team.
We just played two games without two star players. We get told that Mookie's not going to be able to go, he's not going to be here, he's going to fly back home. Then we get told right before the first game that Freddie can't play.
Obviously, we've had a lot of great rosters, but this is probably the most talented roster - and I keep saying that it seems like every year that we've had.
