The Los Angeles Dodgers successfully recruited Shohei Ohtani with a 6-year-old video of Kobe Bryant, which Ohtani described as a highlight of the meeting. This recruitment video played a significant role in convincing Ohtani to sign with the Dodgers. The San Francisco Giants are also making moves in free agency and considering trading young pitchers to address other needs.
