MANILA, Philippines — Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers take center stage on Thursday as Major League Baseball’s new season gets under way on US soil against the backdrop of a gambling scandal that has engulfed its brightest star.

The euphoria amongst Dodgers fans was given another jolt when the team acquired pitchers Tyler Glasnow and Ohtani’s Japan teammate Yoshinobu Yamamoto, further proof that the franchise is determined to make a serious run at the World Series.
