Video and report: https://vcsports.tw/?p=5550 In this episode, we will sort out some of the most discussed key topics surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers during the recent winter meetings. From the hotly discussed “Tiger King Tarik Skubal trade rumors” to whether the Dodgers really need to pay a huge price for one year of control; then we talked about how the Dodgers will use Shohei Ohtani in the 2026 season, and the strategic thinking behind the entire starting pitcher rotation. In addition, we will also talk about the considerations behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s decision to play in the WBC and Roki Sasaki’s absence from the WBC. Why the two Japanese pitchers have different arrangements actually has a lot to do with Dodge’s pitcher health and playoff layout. The last focus is the newly joined Dodger closer Edwin Díaz. Why was he willing to give up a longer contract and choose a short-term deal to join the Dodgers? The ideas he talked about in the franchise press conference actually clearly reflect the Dodgers’ current team-building direction of “win now.”
