Now that Shohei Ohtani has been all but confirmed to begin the season with the big league club, it's time to speculate as to what the rest of the roster will look like with one week until Opening Day.
Almost all of the position player spots are locked in. The bulk of roster questions lie in the makeup of the starting rotation and bullpen to begin the season. Does Andrew Heaney begin the year on the disabled list? Will Parker Bridwell crack the bullpen? What will Billy Eppler do with Noe Ramirez, Luke Bard, and every other name competing for a bullpen spot?
