Even after winning back-to-back World Series titles, the Dodgers continue to stack their roster. Their dominance has been undeniable, and they have now made a decision on their Opening Day starter. “Dave Roberts made it official— Yoshinobu Yamamoto will be Dodgers Opening Day starter March 26 v DBacks,” Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett wrote.
The Dodgers still have some things to figure out, including their starting rotation. One notable storyline is Roki Sasaki, who was used as a reliever during the playoffs and is now being converted back into a starter. The second-year pitcher has struggled this spring, but manager Dave Roberts has made it clear he will make the roster.
