The recent comments from Nestor Cortes and a Padres superstar claiming their teams were better than the Dodgers last season have stirred the pot in the baseball community. It raises an interesting question: how much weight do we give to these rivalries and the trash talk that comes with them?

Cortes, who famously gave up the first-ever walk-off grand slam in World Series history, seems to be trying to make a name for himself with his bold statements. But can we really take his opinion seriously? After all, the Dodgers had a stellar season, and their performance speaks for itself.

On the other hand, the Padres' assertion that they were the better team in the NLDS adds another layer to this debate. Are these comments just typical banter, or do they reflect a deeper rivalry that could impact the upcoming season?

And let's not forget about Shohei Ohtani, who continues to dominate headlines. His recent health update after his Cactus League debut is crucial for the Dodgers' chances this season. With Ohtani being named a bigger athlete in LA than LeBron James, what does that say about the current state of baseball in Los Angeles?

As we gear up for the season, what are your thoughts on these rivalries? Do you think the Dodgers are still the team to beat, or are the Padres and Yankees closing the gap? How do you see Ohtani's impact on the Dodgers this year? Share your predictions and insights!
