I believe Yamamoto will sign with the Dodger with the lure of Ohtani , $$ , Freeman , Betts , weather , LA , proximity to Japan , etc. The Whiz Kid Stearns of signing only fringe players to 1 year deals will turn out to be a Folly. You cann't just flip a switch in 2025 and sign 7 really good players. Very underwhelmed with Stearn's performance so far and if he waits another two weeks for Yamamoto to decide there will be very few really good free agents available.

Can you imagine the vitriol that would be spewed towards Cohen and the Mets had they given a contract like the one Ohtani signed.
