Dave Roberts is quickly learning all about the constant fanfare surrounding Shohei Ohtani and the increased attention he brings each day to the Los Angeles Dodgers from across the world in Japan.
The veteran manager let loose recently at spring training and breakdanced on the field during a practice, his moves caught on camera.Many far brighter moments to come, he certainly hopes, with two-way star Ohanti in the batting order and, eventually, back on the mound.
“The focus, the message, was the Dodgers, the foundation of this organization, has always been pitching and defense,” Roberts said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who have been here, a handful of guys that are new to the organization, a lot of guys who understand what we’re about, excited to be a Dodger and some guys that are curious.”
Also expected back later in the season is right-hander Tony Gonsolin. The Dodgers added Ohtani after he batted .304 with 44 home runs and 95 RBIs in 2023, but he won’t pitch until 2025 after undergoing a second elbow procedure. His first came in 2018 with Tommy John surgery.
Giants’ president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi called San Francisco’s offer to Ohtani “very comparable if not identical.”
