Last month, the Dodgers revealed shortly after their victory in the World Series that they planned to return versatile star Mookie Betts to the infield, where he spent the first half of the 2024 campaign before moving back to right field down the stretch, for the 2025 season. Now, Dodgers GM Brandon Gomes has added…
Gomes, who added that recently-extended Tommy Edman will play center field next year, told reporters last month that plan was for Betts to move back to the infield next season and we now have confirmation that he'll be Los Angeles' starting shortstop heading into the 2025 campaign.

Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said Monday that the plan is for Betts to play shortstop next season, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
