Rougned Odor on Adrian Beltre

Rougned Odor on Adrian Beltre:

"He's always trying to help the young players. Sometimes you don't see it that way because you don't understand things, so you don't do what he says. I had that problem, where he would try to explain something to him, but I saw it another way and tried to act tough. I didn't say anything, but I was acting tough in my mind, at least. On the inside.

"Then, later, I started noticing that he was just trying to help. Just trying to give you his best, trying to make it so you do things the right way. Because sometimes you don't realize when you are messing up until somebody tells you, and sometimes, being a young player, you don't understand the way they're telling you. That's why I say he's a tremendous person and a tremendous teammate. It doesn't matter how he's feeling. It doesn't matter if he's got a hurt foot or a hurt hand, or a hurt something else—he's going to play. He has taught me so much about baseball, and I'm so thankful to him for it."
