I think most of us believed that at least one of the two, Ohtani or Stanton, would become Dodgers. If not both. Then again, a logical case couldn’t be made for either. Ohtani wants to hit and pitch, something an AL team would be able to help him do better than a National League team. As for Stanton, the Dodgers wanted to decrease payroll, and couldn’t match the deal that the Yankees offered the Marlins.

Dodgers Exercise Logan Forsythe’s 2018 Team Option
As a prelude to what may be a busy winter, the Los Angeles Dodgers made several intriguing roster-related moves on Monday.
