Josue De Paula says he needed clarification after learning he was being promoted this week in connection with the Los Angeles Dodgers’ situation involving Shohei Ohtani. Both outlets report that De Paula’s initial reaction involves confusion or uncertainty as he tried to understand the change and what his role would be.
The coverage focuses on De Paula’s personal response rather than providing additional details about the Dodgers’ broader roster decisions. While one outlet presents the story with emphasis on De Paula “replacing” Ohtani, the other frames the same development more generally as De Paula being promoted this week and seeking clarification about what it meant for his assignment.
Overall, the reports agree on the core timeline—De Paula learns of a promotion this week and expresses that he needed clarification—while differing mainly in how explicitly they link the promotion to replacing Ohtani.
