Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani was praised by a fellow two-way (and two-sport) star Deion Sanders. The NFL Hall of Famer not only played offense and defense (and returned punts) on the gridiron, but concurrently had a successful MLB career.

In other news, a breakout pitcher has been named a top trade target for one team as the offseason approaches. A league insider believes that an American League powerhouse could have some real interest in the young right-hander.

Finally, the Dodgers have dropped just one game this postseason, and for those reasons and more, an MLB insider believes that they are heavy favorites. As electric as the Dodgers have been this season, the Toronto Blue Jays are another power-hitting squad looking to win their first World Series title since 1993.
