Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto hosted a talk show in Tokyo on Saturday after announcing his partnership with Nike two weeks ago, and revealed plenty about himself and the Dodgers during the event.

Luckily for Los Angeles, they are one of the deepest teams in MLB. They have more than enough depth in their starting rotation with River Ryan and Gavin Stone set to return from their season-long injuries in the upcoming season, and have done well to reinforce their bullpen in the offseason with the addition of yet another All-Star in Edwin Diaz.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will appear in 14 nationally-televised games in 2026, with more likely to be announced as the season progresses. The Dodgers played in 25 nationally-televised games in 2025, excluding the postseason, and as the reigning World Series Champions, they're likely to garner a similar amount in the coming season. L.A.'s first game on national TV comes in their Opening Day contest against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Mar. 26 at 5:30 p.m. PT on NBC.

Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. There are no words to describe the pain we're going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her. Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support during this time. Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn't be able to do this without them. Thank you Dodger Nation, Blue Jays organization and all baseball fans for your love and support. We have seen ALL your messages, comments and posts. It's brought us so much comfort.

Freeman has played 100 or more games in 14 of his 16 MLB seasons, with the exceptions being 2010 - when he didn't exceed his rookie limits with the Atlanta Braves - and the shortened 2020 season. He has managed 147 games in each of the last two seasons and missed a total of seven games across the three seasons prior.

"I think Freeland could have a shot at making the Opening Day roster, but that roster spot may be more between him and Hyeseong Kim," Chen wrote. "That feels like a big spring roster battle to watch. If Freeland doesn't make it, he's only in his age-24 season and a valuable depth piece to have. I think he has room to continue developing in Triple-A if he starts the season there."

Jones, who spent one of his 17 seasons with the Dodgers, was selected to join the National Baseball Hall of Fame in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday. Players are elected to the Hall provided they are named on at least 75% of ballots cast by eligible voting members of the BBWAA. With 425 ballots, including 11 blanks, cast in the 2026 election, candidates needed to receive 319 votes to be elected.

Pages explained to the Cuban outlet why he ultimately chose not to suit up for his home country. "I have a lot of things to improve, and I need to prepare for a long season," Pages said. "I have to focus on what's most important." Pages was on Cuba's preliminary roster and showed interest; however, he decided to switch to focus on his game and grow with the Dodgers.

"I could walk around downtown and people wouldn't notice you if they weren't looking for you," Klein said in an exclusive interview on " Dodgers Dugout Live," reflecting on the months since his unexpected ascent from minor leaguer to postseason sensation.

"I'm super excited, that's all you can ask for, an opportunity and a chance to play. I'm super excited to be with another good organization."

The Los Angeles Dodgers will soon begin their quest for title No. 10. As things stand, the Dodgers organization have nine titles and they are on the verge of becoming the first team to three-peat in a quarter-century. The Dodgers may not have made a ton of moves this offseason, but the moves they did make were significant. They shored up their bullpen, adding All-Star closer Edwin Diaz and re-signed two-time champion and World Series hero Miguel Rojas.

"We're going to compete," Stammen said. "No doubt about that. We're going to give them our best shot. That's what we'll do every year, that's what we're going to do every year. They're a great team, two-time defending World Series champions, a lot of great star players, future Hall of Famers. "We feel good about our roster too. We feel good about our team, we feel good about the attitude.
