The Dodgers are making headlines as they gear up for the Tokyo Series against the Cubs, but the buzz isn't just about the games. With ticket prices soaring to an astonishing $20,000, it raises the question: how far are fans willing to go to support their team? Is this a sign of the times in sports where exclusivity and experience trump affordability?

On the field, the absence of Shohei Ohtani on the mound is a significant talking point. With his throwing progression on hold, what does this mean for the Dodgers' season? Can they still compete at the highest level without him as a pitcher? And what about Mookie Betts? His recovery is crucial, but how much can we rely on him to bounce back in time for Opening Day?

Moreover, the Dodgers are reportedly making big changes to combat injury problems. What strategies do you think they should implement to ensure their star players stay healthy throughout the season?

As we look ahead, let's not forget the implications of Yoshinobu Yamamoto's ambitions for his second season. Could he be the key to filling the void left by Ohtani?
