The Los Angeles Dodgers already have added Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto in free agency this offseason, making them the favorites to win the 2024 World Series. However, they are still coming off a disappointing postseason, as the Arizona Diamondbacks swept them on their way to the National League pennant.
Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen was at the center of Arizona’s playoff run, and he revealed his reaction to Los Angeles’s spending spree in free agency.
“Ohtani didn’t surprise me much, maybe the size of the contract a little bit,” Gallen said on the Wolf and Luke show on KMVP-FM in Phoenix. “The Dodgers just kind of do what they do, which is spend money and try to put the best team out there they can to win a championship. But yeah, kind of crazy that they’re going out there and spending that much money.”
