LOS ANGELES — After what Dave Roberts described as the craziest spring of his career, the Dodgers manager welcomed the routine that came with Thursday's stateside Opening Day. Earlier this month, a trip to Korea ended with the firing of Shohei Ohtani's interpreter and the Dodgers' new superstar in the crosshairs of a gambling scandal, just one game into his record-setting $700 million deal. But now, finally, a normal rhythm could return.
All three players finished in the top three in MVP voting last season and had an OPS+ over 160, meaning they hit 60% better than league average, something that hasn't happened from three qualified players in the same lineup since the 1963 Giants. 'The first word that comes to mind,' Roberts said, 'is ‘daunting.'' For the first time, Dodgers fans got to witness first-hand what might be the top position-player trio in baseball history.
