Several Sports Illustrated reporters predict that the German Army will not be able to become the best in the world.
The Dodgers have made major reinforcements this off-season. In addition to acquiring pitcher Shohei Ohtani, who received the most attention in the FA market, for a total of 700 million dollars (approximately 98.9 billion yen) over 10 years, they also acquired pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto for a total of 325 million dollars (approximately 45.9 billion yen) over 12 years. They are spending a lot of money, signing pitcher Tyler Glasnow to a new five-year contract worth $135 million (approximately 19.1 billion yen). Meanwhile, the American sports magazine “Sports Illustrated” looks forward to the sports world in 2024. He predicts a “slump” for the Dodgers.

Reporter Emma Baccellielli predicts, “Despite the reinforcements and the high total annual salary, they will be eliminated in the early stages of the playoffs again.” Additionally, reporter Matt Beldahm argues, “Despite having the best off-season in history, the Dodgers can’t win the World Series. Ohtani’s contract is great, but the Dodgers will lose to a team with less talent.”
It’s not just the two of us. Reporter Michael Fabinho declared, “The Dodgers are the biggest disappointment in sports history.” “They won’t win the World Series. I’ve seen teams that are called super teams fail, and the Dodgers will follow that path,” he said. “We know how great Ohtani is, but… “He won’t be able to pitch this season. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has no experience in the major leagues, and Tyler Glasnow has multiple injuries,” he said, listing the reasons for that. He further stated that he “predicts the Braves to win the National League title.”
Reporter Jennifer Piacenti also said, “The Dodgers spent more than $1 billion (approximately 141.3 billion yen) on reinforcements this offseason, but they will not advance to the World Series in 2024. I’m sure he’ll blame it.”
The Dodgers have made the playoffs 11 years in a row since 2013, winning their division 10 times, but they only won the World Series in the shortened season in 2020. Will new recruits Otani, Yamamoto, and others be able to eliminate the weak side? The 2024 season will be a hot topic.
