Prior to Major League Baseball temporarily suspending operations due to concerns over the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Los Angeles Dodgers were entering the home stretch of Spring Training.
One of the biggest storylines in camp was the arrivals of Mookie Betts and David Price — both of whom were acquired in a trade with the Boston Red Sox at the start of February. The two players faced an adjustment period, switching coasts and leagues for the first time in their respective careers.
However, it didn’t take long for Betts and Price to settle in. The former delivered a motivational speech to his teammates on the first day of workouts, receiving praise from the likes of Justin Turner.
