As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the Dodgers' rotation is shaping up to be a hot topic of discussion. With the likes of Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Roki Sasaki, and Tyler Glasnow already locked in, the competition for the fifth spot is heating up between Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin.

Dustin May has made it clear that he prefers to start, but after a long battle with injuries, can he reclaim his spot in the rotation? His recent comments about needing to log innings raise an interesting question: how much should a team's management weigh a player's past performance against their current health status?

On the flip side, Gonsolin is also coming off a significant injury, and with both pitchers vying for the same spot, it begs the question: should the Dodgers prioritize the player with the most potential upside, or the one who has shown more consistency in the past?

Barry Bonds recently commented on Shohei Ohtani's situation, suggesting that he has it easier than he did. This brings up another layer to our discussion: how do we evaluate the pressures and expectations placed on modern players compared to legends of the game?

As we dive into spring training, what are your bold predictions for the Dodgers' rotation? Who do you think will ultimately claim that fifth spot, and how do you see the dynamics of the team shifting with Ohtani's eventual return to the mound? Let's hear your thoughts!
