Good morning.
- The Dodgers had their press conference to introduce Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto said that he would have signed with the Dodgers even if the team hadn’t signed Shohei Ohtani. Maybe that’s true, but is he going to say anything different at a press conference at Dodger Stadium?
- Dylan Hernández reports that Yamamoto did say that Ohtani inspired him by telling him to “stop admiring” MLB players.
- Michael McCann and Robert Raiola look at the income tax ramifications for the deals signed by Ohtani and Yamamoto.
