Dodgers Rotation Plans Amid Mets' Acknowledgment

The Los Angeles Dodgers are considering a six-man rotation for the 2025 season but will initially use five starters due to their schedule, with Shohei Ohtani returning to pitching in May. The competition for the Dodgers' fifth starter spot is intense among Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, and Bobby Miller. Meanwhile, the New York Mets view the Dodgers as a significant competitor, with Mets President David Stearns acknowledging their consistent success. Mets pitchers are making impressions during spring training, with Brandon Sproat focusing on development and Clay Holmes transitioning from a closer to a starter, already in good form. The Mets are not setting innings goals for Holmes, trusting their process and feedback from players to guide them.
