00:00 I know that a team is not just about one person but you signed Shohei Ohtani over the winter

00:06 and this is a new era for the Dodgers.

00:08 How significant was it that you started this new era with a win?

00:13 Well it was, I think the bigger picture it's significant because you've got such a generational

00:19 talent that you know is on your ball club in a big market in Los Angeles.

00:31 We've got a lot of good players outside of Shohei.

00:35 So I wouldn't say today tonight's a marquee game.
