Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, and Tommy Edman showcased their power in the Dodgers' recent spring training game, hitting home runs as the team extended their winning streak to seven games. Michael Conforto led the offense with three hits, raising questions about his role as the starting left fielder. While concerns lingered about his performance earlier in the spring, both he and Freeman are finding their rhythm ahead of the regular season.

The Dodgers are also finalizing a significant contract extension for manager Dave Roberts, potentially making him the highest-paid in MLB history. Furthermore, Shohei Ohtani is expected to slow his pitching progression, putting the spotlight on the Dodgers' impressive depth as they prepare for the Tokyo series.
