It looks like we get to see all the new additions to the Dodgers right out of the gate.
Ohtani looks solid in the cage, and looks like he is on track to be Opening Day DH. We also expect to see the newest pitching additions as well. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts announced on Tuesday that Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow are currently slated to start the two-game Seoul Series against the division-rival San Diego Padres on March 20-21. Roberts emphasized that while it's highly likely both pitchers will start, plans could still be subject to change. "This is a unique ramp-up for everyone," Roberts remarked during a spring training media event attended by managers and general managers from all Cactus League teams. "While these two games hold significance, it's important to prioritize the readiness of our players for the entirety of the season and ensure they are prepared to take on regular starts." The Dodgers effectively finalized the terms of a trade to bring Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays on the same day they unveiled Ohtani on December 14. Prior to even joining the Dodgers, Glasnow agreed to a substantial five-year, $136.6 million extension with the team. Just a week later, they secured Yamamoto with a significant 12-year, $325 million deal. With Ohtani's heavily-deferred 10-year, $700 million contract also factored in, the Dodgers' offseason spending spree reached approximately $1.2 billion.
