""I think it's very exciting," Ohtani said to NBC News. "You know, when I did decide to sign with the Dodgers, that was a conversation I had with the ownership group. "They promised me that they were going to put the best team out on the field. And just, you know, the goal was to, again, continue to win as many World Series as we could. "I never forget that I go out on the field every day, kind of feeling the pressure, but at the same time having fun and knowing that this team has a chance to win and we can bring it, bring it home to the fans.""
""As you look back at history, there's only been a, you know, small group of teams that have three-peated," Ohtani said. "The task is going to be very difficult. However, I do hope that, you know, when I retire and I look back and I can be able to say that, hey, I was"
The Los Angeles Dodgers signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million deal and Edwin Díaz to a three-year, $69 million contract, creating the league's highest payroll and a large luxury tax bill. Critics argue the spending gives the Dodgers an unfair advantage and harms competitive balance. Shohei Ohtani expresses enthusiasm for the club's aggressive free-agent approach and notes an ownership promise to field the best team. Ohtani describes daily pressure mixed with enjoyment and believes the roster gives a real chance to win. Ohtani also acknowledges the difficulty of achieving a World Series three-peat but expresses hope for that legacy.
