Los Angeles Dodgers organizational notes include updates on Japanese youth standout Shoki Oda and coach Aaron Bates amid the ongoing Major League Baseball lockout.
A photo from the BFA U18 Asian Baseball Championship Super Round shows Oda, wearing number 11 for Team Japan, interacting with teammate Ritora Yamada during a game against Chinese Taipei at Taipei Dome on September 12, 2026.
The Dodgers' internal discussions, reported by Eric Stephen for SB Nation on November 9, 2026, also touch on the league-wide work stoppage that has halted offseason transactions.
