In the meantime, the Dodgers made a big Ohtani-related announcement prior to their game on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Braves. They have announced that half of the proceeds from a raffle they're holding on Wednesday will go toward the rebuilding efforts in the Los Angeles area following the devastating Eaton and Palisades fires on Ohtani's behalf.

Even though Shohei Ohtani is inarguably the best player on the Los Angeles Dodgers, the question of who is the best athlete on the team has raised some debate for the reigning World Series champs. Speaking to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal about the topic, Mookie Betts definitively declared himself to be a better overall athlete than Ohtani.

The first 40,000 fans to arrive at Dodger Stadium will be given a Shohei Ohtani MVP bobblehead to honor his record-setting 2024 season.
