Cubs manager Craig Counsell criticized the “Shohei Ohtani Rule,” which allows the Dodgers’ two-way player to be exempt from the 13-pitcher roster limit, calling it a “bad rule.” He emphasized that his comments were not aimed at the Dodgers or Ohtani specifically but were a broader critique. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts noted that the rule was established when Ohtani was with the Angels and defended its uniqueness, suggesting that teams could seek similar players. The Cubs currently face pitching challenges, with 11 pitchers on the injured list.
