Cubs manager doesn't back down from criticism of MLB's Shohei Ohtani rule

"Look, this is not a Dodger thing. It's not an Ohtani thing. It is a bad rule. I'm done. That's it. I mean, you guys figure it out."

"Not surprised. That's kind of what happens these days when you say certain things. And I don't think he meant it really maliciously."

"This is a rule that's applicable to Shohei. It's not a Dodger rule, right? I mean, this was implemented when he was with the Angels."

Craig Counsell expressed concerns about MLB's roster rules, particularly regarding the two-way player exception that allows Shohei Ohtani to count as one player. He implied that the Dodgers gain an unfair advantage from this rule. Counsell clarified that his issue is with the rule itself, not with Ohtani or the Dodgers. Manager Dave Roberts responded, stating that the comments are not taken personally and emphasized that the rule was established when Ohtani was with the Angels. Current MLB rules limit teams to 13 active pitchers.
