ocregister.com/2024/03/08/dodgers-shifting-mookie-betts-to-shortstop-gavin-lux-to-second-base/
Quick Glance: Misguided Move: Dodgers Shift Mookie Betts to Shortstop

- Delay in finding a new shortstop reveals organizational shortcomings, with Lux's performance in just six spring games dictating the sudden position change.
- The Dodgers' disruptive move to shift Betts exemplifies a troubling pattern of prioritizing analytics over player stability and success.
