Part 6/9:
The potential of forming a closer connection between the Dodgers and Japanese baseball becomes an intriguing talking point. With Shohei Ohtani already present in Los Angeles and now Sasaki making the move, could this signal the creation of a robust pipeline to Japan? While full of promise, Trev discussed the potential risks and rewards involved in pitching from a different style and culture.
Critics argue that this shift in the Dodgers' strategy can be seen as detrimental to baseball, as it raises questions about competitive balance. However, both Trevor and Jake disagreed with this notion, asserting that organizations need to adapt to the rapidly evolving structure if they want to flourish.
