On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, opening day is finally here and we look ahead to the Dodgers and Padres playing two early morning games in Seoul, South Korea.

We go over the Dodgers’ frenzied reception at Incheon International Airport, including Shohei Ohtani with his now-revealed wife Mamiko Tanaka, a former professional basketball player. Ohtani will also begin a throwing program once the Dodgers return home to Los Angeles, following his elbow surgery in September. We look at what that means, and what it doesn’t regarding 2024.

To date, the Dodgers have played two exhibition games against Korean teams at Gocheok Sky Dome.

Leading into opening day Wednesday morning (a 3 a.m. PT start time), in which Tyler Glasnow will start and Ohtani will make his Dodgers debut, we look at some roster things from the last week, including non-roster invitee Daniel Hudson making the team, Gavin Stone winning the fifth-starter battle, and Miguel Vargas getting optioned.
