Key figures like Shohei Ohtani and Blake Snell are at the forefront of this discussion, with Ohtani&#8217;s recovery and first bullpen session drawing significant attention. The episode also questions why Dalton Rushing is trying out first base, exploring the strategic reasons behind this move to enhance the team&#8217;s depth. Manager Dave Roberts&#8217; annual address emphasizes a game-by-game focus, steering clear of past triumphs. Meanwhile, Eddie Rosario&#8217;s minor league signing adds an intriguing layer to the Dodgers&#8217; roster dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for an in-depth analysis of these strategic shifts and player updates, offering insights that could impact the Dodgers&#8217; path this season.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to subscribe to Locked On Dodgers wherever you get your podcasts and on YouTube, and come back every weekday morning and spend your morning commute with two of the biggest Dodger fans you&#8217;ll ever meet.
