SAN ANTONIO — The , who just a week ago, wasted no time terrifying all of their peers Wednesday afternoon at baseball’s annual General Manager Meetings. The Dodgers revealed they plan to move six-time winner Mookie Betts back to the infield, GM Brandon Gomes said, creating an opening, of course, in right field. So, just what right fielders are currently available to fill Betts’ spot? Well, there’s a certain right fielder on the free agent market going for $700 million or so that certainly fits the billing.
If the Dodgers call, you think is going to hang up on them just because they’re on the West Coast? A Soto-Dodgers marriage may be as unlikely as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump toasting one another, particularly since the Dodgers just proved they can , but it’s a reminder just how deep and talented these Dodgers happen to be these days. Who else could merely shrug that presumed MVP Shohei Ohtani just had surgery for a torn labrum in his left shoulder, making it unlikely he'll be ready to pitch in time for their March 18 season-opener against the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo — and unclear exactly when he’ll be fully recovered. “The prognosis is really good,’’ Gomes said.
“We’re going to take this time to make sure he’s obviously going to go through his rehab. But big picture, the good thing is that it’s his left non-throwing shoulder and back shoulder for swinging. So, it’s a good combination on that front.
“We’ll see how he gets through this phas.
