The FOX Sports MLB staff offers its takes on Juan Soto's next contract, Mookie Betts being a full-time shortstop, Justin Steele's injury, and more.
The first week of the 2024 MLB season is complete, and it couldn't have been more different for Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts. The Dodgers, of course, are still winning. The Cubs have also gotten off to a strong start, despite losing ace Justin Steele. While the front office deliberates over a potential pitching addition, Chicago is squaring off with L.A. this weekend at Wrigley Field .
3. If you were running the Dodgers, who would you start at shortstop and how would you generally plan to deploy Mookie Betts defensively? Thosar: Since it's only been just over a week of games, and the early numbers show the Dodgers' infield defense hasn't really hurt the club, I'm of the belief that Betts should continue working on his glove at shortstop. He hasn't looked particularly natural at the position while he essentially learns it on the fly.
