Spring training workouts start Sunday with the Los Angeles Dodgers trying to become the first repeat champion since the New York Yankees won three in a row from 1998 to 2000. Coming off their second title in five seasons, the Dodgers added Roki Sasaki, the prized 23-year-old right-hander from Japan, along with left-hander Blake Snell to a pitching staff expecting two-way star Shohei Ohtani to return to the mound in April or May after recovering from elbow surgery. Tampa Bay and the Athletics will be preparing for vagabond seasons in minor league ballparks.
