Dodgers Mookie Betts on trying to win a gold glove at second base in 2024

it is exciting um little change of pace uh but we'll see how it goes you know uh and I haven't trained to prepare at to be a second baseman in so long so I had to kind of jog some of those memories but uh we should be all right is it easy to jog those memories does it come back to you like they say riding a bicycle or at this level the big league level is a little bit more difficult than that I would say it's definitely a little bit more difficult at that but the principles all the same and uh we'll have fun with I got Freddy next to me uh Gavin um migy row I mean you know we got we got a really uh really good group of guys that'll make it fun for me I you're so naturally good at everything you do I can't imagine you really struggling making the transition back to second base but you've talked about this you would like to actually win a go glove at second base I don't think anybody's everever won six go gloves in right field then move to the infield in one one there's got to be a first for everything so uh that's that's what I'm trying to do when you look at adding show he Otani to this lineup and you look just at the top three I mean the the lineup is stacked from top to bottom but what do you think about the potential just of the first three guys with yourself Freddy and now sh there's a lot of potential there I mean you know there's uh it should be a lot of fun um you know again we just got to go play make sure we take care of our business and um we'll see uh kind of the fireworks that that that happen but uh you know I'm super excited really just to to see the legend of shi you know um up up close and personal yeah you had a chance to maybe see him at All-Star games in the past or when you guys played against the Angels but what are some of your initial impressions of show now as a teammate with the doct he's he's just super chill you know he goes about his business take care takes care of his business and uh I haven't had a whole lot of interaction just yet I think U you know closer to the season when routines are you know really in order and whatnot uh I'll get to interact with him a little more but I don't see him very you know right now it's hard to it's hard to say cuz you know he's taking care of his business and I'm taking care of mine so we haven't crossed paths a whole lot yet when you hear the talk out there people upset that the Dodgers signed shohi and Yamamoto and were able to get glass now and teoscar Hernandez and everybody that was already here to begin with and oh there's this new evil empire on the west coast does it make you chuckle a little bit do you Embrace what is being said out there about this Dodger team I mean yeah I think you have to um you know that's uh that's why you sign with the Dodgers cuz you uh get you're going to get a chance to win each and every year and they gave us a really good chance um obviously like I said we got to go play but uh you know you just embrace it you know there's nothing really you can do you know those are that you know things on the outside that they that are put up put on us and so I mean what do you do there's nothing nothing we can do I imagine it's all fun during the offseason to to be a dad maybe on a different level than you are during the regular season in fact when they had the MVP announcement you were doing interviews from your car while you were waiting in line to pick up kids at school what is mooki the dad like during the offseason man uh this year was a lot you know we had my son he's 10 months now um but you know going through he was you know seven eight nine months and really just kind of spending time with him um we had him during or during the season so uh my my daughter I had during the offseason so I really got to spend you know first early months with her my son I had during the season so I really didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with him during the season so I try to make it up uh through the offseason and just a lot of taking my little girl to school picking her up from school and going going on little on play dates who would who would think thing now you wake up on Saturday morning you go on play dates with a whole bunch of kids and whatnot so uh it's fun though it's fun
