SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Life is sweetly normal for Chad Bettis.

“I’m not sure if I’m a manager, or a coach, or a teacher, or what,” he said with a laugh. “But it’s a lot of fun.”
The cancer that invaded his life last year has become a faint shadow.
“I don’t think my mentality has ever been in a much better place than it is now,” the veteran right-hander said.
