The Dodgers don't appear willing to spend big on free agents this offseason. It might be part of their plan to try to sign Shohei Ohtani after next season.
During the MLB winter meetings, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts identified a problem the team has to address, only this problem doesn’t have an obvious solution.
Ohtani was already the subject of rampant speculation at the meetings this week at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, as the 28-year-old will be eligible to test the open market when his one-year, $30-million deal with“If he stays healthy,” said one team owner, “who knows how much he’ll get?” Whether the Angels’ next owner is willing to make the necessary financial investment to retain Ohtani, the assumption around the game is that he’s a goner, as he has voiced displeasure with the team’s inability to win.
The Dodgers came close to signing Ohtani when he was in high school. They made another attempt to sign him when he moved to the major leagues five years ago. Ohtani revealed this year that he timed his move to the major leagues not to maximize his earnings but to maximize his chances of becoming a Hall of Famer.
