Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki are hosting their Dodgers teammates for a mandatory, players-only team dinner in Japan.

During an appearance on the Foul Territory podcast on Monday, Los Angeles star Freddie Freeman revealed that Ohtani's dog was present during meetings between then-amateur international free agent Roki Sasaki and Dodgers players.

The attention on the defending World Series champion and Diamondbacks nemesis extends far beyond the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
