That was the basis of the bond for what has become one of the Dodgers’ most frequent double-play pairings this season, with Rojas filling in at shortstop for the injured and Betts playing more middle infield than he’d played since he was in the minor leagues. The stray conversations on the dirt rarely brought up baseball.
