LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani pitching for the Los Angeles Dodgers in May is “about right,” manager Dave Roberts said Saturday at the team’s annual fan fest. He reiterated that Ohtani won’t pitch in the season-opening Japan Series against the Chicago Cubs on March 18-19 in Tokyo.

Then, on the eve of the Winter Meetings, the Dodgers made a surprise acquisition, signing outfielder Michael Conforto on a one-year, $17 million. That same night, it was reported reliever Blake Treinen was returning to Los Angeles on a two-year, $22 million deal.
