The Dodgers are one of the favorites to add Shohei Ohtani, but the team hasn't said anything public regarding a potential deal since the start of the offseason out of respect for the free agent. Ohtani reportedly preferred teams keep his free agent meetings secret, even potentially holding it against teams if they leaked their meetings to the public.
That apparently changed on Tuesday, as manager Dave Roberts confirmed that the team met with Ohtani a few days ago. At MLB winter meetings, Roberts explained that he believes the Dodgers’ meeting with Ohtani “went well” over the day.
“Clearly, Shohei is our top priority,” Roberts said, via ESPN’s Fabian Ardaya.
