Dodgers Plan to Shift Mookie Betts Back to Infield for 2025

The Los Angeles Dodgers aim to utilize Betts' versatility by moving him to second base or shortstop next season.

Mookie Betts, known for his prowess in right field, is expected to return to the infield for the Dodgers in the 2025 season.
Betts initially played shortstop in 2024 but moved back to right field after a hand injury and defensive challenges at shortstop.
General Manager Brandon Gomes highlighted Betts' selfless attitude and the reduced physical toll of playing infield positions.
The Dodgers' roster flexibility allows for potential moves, including trading Gavin Lux and pursuing free agents like Juan Soto.
The team is also strategizing around Shohei Ohtani's recovery from labrum surgery and potential offseason acquisitions.
