Mookie Betts is back in the lineup for the Dodgers after a concerning health scare that saw him lose nearly 20 pounds due to an illness. His six-word update, I feel great, guys. Awesome. Normal, is a relief for fans, but it raises some important questions about player health and the impact of injuries on a team's performance.

As we gear up for the regular season, how do you think Betts' recent struggles will affect his performance? Will he be able to regain his form quickly, or could this setback linger throughout the season?

Moreover, Dave Roberts has boldly claimed that the 2025 Dodgers have the most talented roster he's ever had. With Betts back, combined with the potential of Shohei Ohtani's pitching development, do you think this team has what it takes to dominate the league?

Let's also consider the mental aspect of the game. Betts mentioned that his body was eating itself during his illness. How do you think such experiences affect a player's mindset as they return to the field?

Join the conversation! Share your thoughts on Betts' health, the Dodgers' roster, and what you expect from this season. Do you have any bold predictions for the Dodgers or any players to watch?
