The Los Angeles Dodgers' new pair of aces, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Tyler Glasnow, are a "safe bet" to start the team's season-opening series against the San Diego Padres in Seoul on March 20-21, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Tuesday.
"This is a unique ramp-up for everyone," he added regarding the Seoul Series. "It's two games that matter, but it's just two games. So the entirety of the season and making sure these guys are ready to take down starts—that's most important."
The Dodgers have had quite the offseason. The team signed Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year, highly deferred $700 million deal, the biggest splash of the winter.
