Part 2/6:
Roberts also took a moment to recognize standout players like Sato, who "looks the part" and has impressed many with his performance. This appreciation for the talent on display is indicative of the mutual respect that exists within the league, especially as American teams scout international players with increasing interest.
Players’ Performance and Health Updates
Transitioning from discussions of the opposing team, the conversation turned to the health and performance of his own players, particularly focusing on Mookie Betts. Roberts provided updates on Betts' pregame activities, including taking ground balls and batting practice. He noted that while Betts displayed some fatigue, it is essential not to rush him back into action, especially with opening day looming.
