Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is no stranger to rewriting the record books, but he just accomplished a feat not seen in over 125 years. Although the Dodgers were swept by the Los Angeles Angels this week (for the second time this season), Ohtani was one of the few bright spots in a week where the San Diego Padres overtook LA for first place in the NL West.
Additionally, president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman spoke on the Dodgers’ relatively quiet trade deadline. To make matters worse, perhaps the biggest acquisition in Brock Stewart has landed on the injured list just four appearances into his (second) stint with the Dodgers.
