The Los Angeles Dodgers will visit the White House on April 7, and star player Shohei Ohtani looks forward to meeting President Trump for the first time. The Dodgers' acceptance of the invitation has sparked controversy, with reporters criticizing the trip as conflicting with the team's values. Player Mookie Betts admitted that the visit was a difficult decision, as he had previously refused to enter the White House due to his political stance. There are also players on the Dodgers who support Trump, such as relief pitcher Joe Kelly, who expressed his eagerness to meet Trump.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, last year's champions of Major League Baseball, will visit the White House on the 7th, and star player Shohei Ohtani is expected to meet with President Trump for the first time. Player Betts admitted that it was a difficult decision. Traditionally, the White House invites championship teams to meet with the President. The Dodgers announced at the end of March that they had accepted the invitation and plan to visit the White House on April 7, U.S. time, starting a three-game series against the Washington Nationals that day.

According to reports, Shohei Ohtani has decided to participate in the Dodgers' White House visit, marking his first meeting with Trump. However, the Dodgers' acceptance of the White House invitation has sparked opposition, with some criticizing the team's actions as contrary to the values it should represent. Throughout the Dodgers' history, Jackie Robinson broke racial barriers and became the first Black player in Major League Baseball, and now the team is being accused of succumbing to forces of hatred.

Betts chose to join the team in visiting the White House, although he admitted it was a difficult choice. He won the championship with the Boston Red Sox in 2018 and chose to skip Trump's invitation in 2019. He stated, "This is the difficult situation of being Black in America; no matter what I choose, there will always be people who are unhappy. This is not about me, and it’s not about politics; it's about the Dodgers and my teammates."

Within the Dodgers, there are players who are looking forward to meeting Trump, including relief pitcher Joe Kelly, who is an open supporter of Trump. After the Dodgers won the World Series in 2020, he chose to skip the White House invitation due to issues with then-President Biden. But this time, Kelly expressed, "I’m very excited to meet him; he is the greatest president I've ever seen, and I look forward to shaking his hand and thanking him for everything he's done."
