Teoscar Hernández to MLB .com on his impending free agency:

Couple observations from Ohtani's statement:
He did not walk into the room alone. Stan Kasten, Andrew Friedman, Dave Roberts, Brandon Gomes and even Joe Kelly & Kiké Hernández also walked in with him, along with other PR staff
(cont...)
"No doubt, we got better as a team yesterday."
It's safe to say that Shohei Ohtani's new teammates are happy to have him in Dodger blue.

Freddie Freeman said Bryce Harper texted him at least four times during his nine days on family emergency leave just to check in. At first base, they shared a hug after Freeman's third-inning single.
Freeman: “I was happy to be out there. I really was."

Freddie Freeman saw a shift in Shohei Ohtani after his press conference yesterday:
"You could see when he came in after that, he was kind of relieved he was able to talk about it. As much as we want to, sometimes we can't when there's things going on. So I think that's great."
The little boy said to Dave, "I met you here last year, you remember me". Dave said, "Sure but you didn't have that Ohtani shirt on last year". Fun moment's in Spring Training.

history! We can’t possibly imagine a better role model for our young fans. Best baseball player of all time who’s shown us how to play
Shohei Ohtani's first week as a Dodger wasn't supposed to involve a scandal. Yet as he made his Dodger Stadium debut, it's clear his new fan base has embraced him.
"We're in the backyard of Hollywood. There's always drama."

Max Scherzer says top surgeons Keith Meister and Neal ElAttrache have both said pitchers' arm injuries have been more severe since the pitch clock changes.

Kirsten Watson just said on the SNLA broadcast that she asked Shohei Ohtani recently what his favorite type of margarita is.
Shohei’s answer? Pizza 🍕
Never change, Ohtani.
Mookie Betts on Shohei Ohtani:
"He's just being Shohei. I mean, everything's impressive, but it's also so impressive that it's not even that impressive anymore."
Shohei Ohtani grew accustomed to hitting to the left side of the field since his middle school days where he hit a few too many baseballs out of the park and into the Isawa River in Japan!
Watching him go yard today in his Dodgers Cactus League debut reminded
