MLB in brief: From the great Shohei Ohtani | Kevin Kiermaier wants to dominate

From the great Shohei Ohtani

Again this morning, he had quite a game.

His circuit is worth revisiting.

This marked the manager of the Australians.

“I think the turning point was when Ohtani hit that ball about 500 feet in the first inning.”
—Australia manager Dave Nilsson

Kevin Kiermaier wants to be the best version of himself

The Jays will benefit.

Russell Martin is proud to represent his country

With reason.

Chris Sale will not pitch the first game of the season

It’s been planned for a long time.

Chris Sale won’t pitch Opening Day. Alex Cora said that was his plan all along. The manager added there is “a good chance” Corey Kluber gets the nod. Sale is one day after Kluber in the Spring Training rotation.
