The Dodgers have gone to great lengths to put together a Rolls-Royce lineup. This doesn’t bode well for the future of a Subaru manager like Dave Roberts.

What a Christmas for Dodgers fans. Shohei Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and now Yoshinobu Yamamoto! And it’s not even Christmas. Visions of World Series dance in my head!

Having not won a championship for 35 years and counting (sorry, the 60-game COVID season was a farce), the Dodgers are understandably highly motivated to finally win a title. Spending $1 billion on two Japanese stars, it is more likely they will win the World Baseball Classic than a World Series title.

Dodgers sign Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto for insane money. Wow, I thought my cable was only going up $10 per month. What is next? Are you going to charge me $100 to park in my garage to watch the game from home?

As we Dodgers fans have sadly learned from the past, merely signing big-name players does not guarantee a trip to the World Series. What the signings of Ohtani and Yamamoto do guarantee are: 1) Higher ticket prices; 2) Hot sales of Ohtani’s and Yamamoto’s jerseys and T-shirts; and 3) Incessant media hype about these two, regardless of how they perform.
I, for one, will wait and see what actually happens on the field.

I have to wonder. Does Yoshinobu Yamamoto know he’ll never be allowed to pitch a no-hitter or perfect game?

I have read multiple articles in The Times listing a projected Dodgers rotation without even a mention of Clayton Kershaw. Why?
