OHTANI RETURN: Mookie Leadoff Shock, Sasaki Bullpen Move & Dylan's 2026 Takes Exposed | Dodgers Post

Dodgers beat writers Jack Harris and Dylan Hernandez recap a late-season sweep of the San Francisco Giants as Los Angeles prepares to welcome back Shohei Ohtani from the injured list.

The guys debate whether Mookie Betts should permanently replace Ohtani in the leadoff spot for October, evaluate Roki Sasaki's sudden move to the bullpen, and break down Josué De Paula's case for making the postseason roster.

Finally, Jack roasts Dylan by reading through his most outrageous 2026 column takes—including his flips on Tarik Skubal, Tyler Glasnow's "Fat Now" diet, and Roki Sasaki's "dying dream"—before conceding the famous 2009 Padres bee swarm trivia point.
