Shohei Ohtani’s stunning contract made some wonder whether the Dodgers would be able to continue signing more stars to surround the two-time American League MVP on the field. Thanks to Ohtani’s offer to defer a majority of his salary, the Dodgers may be able to do precisely that.

Following Shohei Ohtani’s record-shattering deal with the Dodgers and Juan Soto’s trade to the Yankees, teams will now pivot to the remaining free-agent hitters to bolster their rosters.

Shohei Ohtani put pen to paper on Monday, finalizing his 10-year contract with Los Angeles.

The Yankees acquired left-handed reliever Victor González and infielder Jorbit Vivas from the Dodgers in exchange for shortstop Trey Sweeney.

How does Toronto move on from Shohei Ohtani, and who could it land this offseason to ease the sting?

Losing Shohei Ohtani undoubtedly hurts the franchise, but in some ways, it does give the Angels more flexibility to improve the roster.
