Dodgers Confirm Meeting with Shohei Ohtani, Making Him Top Priority

The Los Angeles Dodgers openly admitted to meeting with Shohei Ohtani, making them the first team to do so this winter. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts revealed that the meeting went well and lasted 2-3 hours, emphasizing that Ohtani is their top priority. Roberts also mentioned that the Dodgers didn't have a prepared pitch for Ohtani, as he already has a good understanding of the team and the city.
