“You look at that (Padres) dugout versus our dugout, there was more intensity there.” Almost two months after the Dodgers' postseason elimination, manager Dave Roberts offered a troubling review of what transpired in that NLDS series against San Diego.
Their leader by default, Justin Turner, is a free agent.
Before the Dodgers were eliminated in Game 4 of the NLDS, Betts was asked if he noticed an increased sense of urgency on the team.
