Shohei Ohtani expresses desire to remain with Dodgers amid ownership changes

Shohei Ohtani has indicated a preference to stay with the Los Angeles Dodgers regardless of potential changes in ownership. Reports suggest that he would remain with the team even if controlling owner Mark Walter decides to sell. Ohtani's current contract allows him to opt out if Walter or president Andrew Friedman leave the organization. However, sources close to Ohtani believe he is unlikely to seek a departure, as the Dodgers are among the few teams that can match his financial expectations.
