Spring training Sho-time is set to kick off on Tuesday as the Los Angeles Dodgers gear up for their exhibition debut with two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani, who signed a record-breaking $700 million, 10-year contract during the offseason, will be taking on the role of designated hitter for the Dodgers in their upcoming game against the Chicago White Sox.
