Ippei Mizuhara will serve more than four years in federal prison for posing as the superstar Dodger to steal money from his bank accounts to pay gambling debts

Dave Roberts and Freddie Freeman are confident Shohei Ohtani is capable of reprising his MVP season despite undergoing shoulder surgery in the offseason.

The ballpark remained closed for massive renovations, but the parking lots were packed with fans celebrating a second title in five years, with an even brighter future possibly on the horizon. Shohei Ohtani danced through the event surrounded by a security detail.

Ohtani became the first player in league history to tally 50 home runs and stolen bases in the same season, inventing MLB's 50/50 club. He accomplished that while recovering from UCL surgery, which prevented Ohtani from contributing on the mound last season, when he served as LA's designated hitter in 159 games played.

Looks like some players just couldn't wait to get back on the field, so they took the initiative to start earlier than expected.

The Los Angeles Dodgers took a leap of faith when they signed Shohei Ohtani. The post Shohei Ohtani Reveals His Freakish Decade-Long Blueprint With the Dodgers After $700 Million Gamble appeared first on EssentiallySports.

While Shohei Ohtani made history at the plate and on the basepaths in 2024, the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar could continue to rewrite the record books when he returns to the mound.
