The Los Angeles Dodgers turned a blind eye to FA big names last winter to go all-in on Shohei Ohtani this time.

Los Angeles Dodgers J.D. Martinez looks at the ball after hitting a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth inning in Game 2 of the Division Series against the Arizona Diamondbacks on October 10.

J.D. Martinez did not receive a qualifying offer from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

There is another circumstantial evidence that the LA Dodgers will be "all-in" in recruiting FA Shohei Ohtani.

The Dodgers did not offer a qualifying offer QO to J.D. Martinez, their FA, on the 7th Korea time. If Martíz moves to another team, the Dodgers will not receive any compensation. Nevertheless, why didn't they suggest QO.

It was interpreted that the measure was taken with Ohtani in mind.

MLB Network reporter John Heyman said on the 8th, "The Dodgers' failure to offer QO to designated hitter JD Martinez is at least to use Ohtani's strength in FA negotiations." This year's QO is $20.325 million.

Martinez was born in August 1987 and signed an FA contract for 10 million dollars a year this year to join the Dodgers. However, in 113 games, he recorded a batting average of 0.271 117 hits in 432 at-bats, 33 home runs, 103 RBIs, and an OPS of 0.893 and showed more than a ransom. He was on the injured list twice in April and August, ranking third in each of the team's home runs and RBIs even though he failed to meet the standard at-bats.

Martinez showed off his strong performance as a clutch heater by hitting 33 home runs and 103 RBIs this season.

Reporter Heyman said, 'It's allJus was worried that Martinez would accept QO. If that happens, the designated hitter position overlaps with Ohtani, he said, adding, "The Dodgers are expected to actively consider re-signing Martinez if they fail to recruit Ohtani."

Other media, The Athletic, cited the Boston Red Sox, Miami Marlins, Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Chicago Cubs as teams that could take Martinez. The demand is expected to be considerable. Reporter Tim Britton of The Athletic suggests Martinez's estimated contract size of $14 million per year and Major League Baseball's Trade Rumours of $40 million for two years, respectively.

If the Dodgers fail to sign Ohtani and search for a designated hitter again, Martinez's price will inevitably soar further. Martinez is not offered a QO, so he does not have to pay compensation such as the right to draft, so the contract burden is relatively low for other clubs.

It is said that the LA Dodgers have put everything on the line to recruit Shohei Ohtani, the biggest FA player.

The Dodgers, who cannot be unaware of this situation, are expected to make every preparation for Ohtani anyway. ESPN reporter Buster Olney said, "I heard something from a Dodgers team official. President Andrew Friedman is very obsessed with Ohtani, he said. "I have a strong will to do whatever it takes to sign with Ohtani."

The Dodgers' will was already detected last winter. I didn't pay attention to anyone big on the FA market. At the end of last year, there were many top-class players in the position the Dodgers wanted in the FA market. Aaron Judge Yankees, nine-year, $360 million, Carlos Correa Minnesota Twins, six-year, $200 million and Jacob deGrom five-year, $185 million, as well as shortstop Trey Turner Philadelphia Phillies, 11 years, $300 million were players that the Dodgers needed. 스포츠토토

But it didn't move at all. The Los Angeles Times said, "It's all."Jus is saving money to recruit Ohtani next year,' he expressed.

Ohtani's contract is worth at least $500 million. Immediately after the World Series, the local media's estimates so far have come from 477 million dollars, 500 million dollars, 5-28 million dollars, and even more than 600 million dollars.
