Ohtani and former Los Angeles Angels teammate Mike Trout are the only active players to have won the award at least three times.

As the MLB offseason heats up, Shohei Ohtani says despite speculation, he is NOT recruiting Roki Sasaki to the Dodgers.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the favorites to land Nippon Professional Baseball pitcher Roki Sasaki, who's going to be posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines this offseason. However, Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani does not plan to try and recruit the talented prospect to the Dodgers.

Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki's agent, Joel Wolfe, shut down rumors that the 23-year-old already has a handshake deal in place with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
