Shohei Ohtani's Secretive Free Agency Meeting Confirmed by Dodgers' Dave Roberts

The Los Angeles Dodgers held a meeting with Shohei Ohtani at Dodger Stadium last week, according to manager Dave Roberts. The meeting lasted two to three hours and was described as lower-key compared to their previous meeting in 2017. No Dodgers players were present, and Roberts remains confident in the team's ability to sign Ohtani, despite competition from other teams. The disclosure of the meeting caught members of the Dodgers organization off guard, but there were no signs of panic. Ohtani's free agency has dominated headlines and stalled the rest of the free-agent market, with teams and agents waiting for him to sign what could be an MLB-record-breaking contract.
