LOS ANGELES –
The Los Angeles Dodgers launch their bid for a World Series hat-trick as Major League Baseball's new season gets under way on Wednesday with "robot umpires" ushering in a new era for America's pastime.Nearly five months after beating the Toronto Blue Jays to clinch back-to-back World Series crowns, the Dodgers have signaled their determination to pull off a "three-peat" by strengthening an already star-studded roster.The big-spending California giants made two of the splashiest moves of the off-season by luring free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker on a lavish $240 million deal while also acquiring the talent of hard-throwing closer Edwin Diaz.
