The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to use Mookie Betts as their primary shortstop, which required him to adapt to the position after Gavin Lux's throwing problems. Despite initial challenges, including eight throwing errors in limited innings, Betts is working diligently during the offseason to prepare. Betts emphasizes his flexibility and willingness to play wherever needed, highlighting his proactive approach and ongoing drive to improve as he enters his 12th MLB season. This strategic move suggests a focus on team needs over personal preference, aiming for long-term success into the next season and beyond.
Getting the work definitely helps and getting to go mess up and whatnot, that definitely helps. We'll see how it goes.
It's just me talking with the guys and seeing what's best. I feel like an asset of mine is being able to play anywhere that the team needs.
The Dodgers opting to go with Betts at shortstop isn't a move because they have to make it, despite the belief that Betts was asking to play the position.
Betts experienced woes with standard shortstop things, including some positioning issues, but mainly, it was his throwing errors that plagued him the most.
