""I was, but I can't now," Betts said on Adin Ross' livestream. "My wife, we're having a kid, so, the baby's due in the middle of the WBC. She said she'd divorce me if I wasn't there.""
"In other news, Teoscar Hernandez could end up being traded if the Dodgers land a prized outfield free agent, a move that will open up playing time and free up money as well."

Mookie Betts will miss the 2026 World Baseball Classic because his wife's due date falls during the tournament. Betts confirmed on a livestream that the baby is due in the middle of the WBC and said his wife would divorce him if he wasn't there. The United States roster has deep talent, so his absence is unlikely to be strongly felt. The Dodgers could trade Teoscar Hernandez if they sign a prized outfield free agent, a move that would open playing time and free payroll. Additional Dodgers notes include managerial praise for Dave Roberts, roster interest in Cody Bellinger and a left-handed Cardinals hitter, and promotional content featuring Freddie Freeman and Shohei Ohtani.
