The Los Angeles Dodgers have continued their offseason spending spree following their World Series triumph over the New York Yankees in October last year.
Ichiro Suzuki has become the first Japanese player to make it to baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is likely to be the next.
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani is donating $500,000 to help firefighters and animals forced to flee the deadly wildfires around the region. Ohtani announced his intention on Instagram, with LA Strong in white lettering against a black background.
Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and megastar Juan Soto got a special shoutout from K-pop star DK of SEVENTEEN during his US tour this fall.
Only great Yankees All World reliever, Mariano Rivera, was unanimously elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. That’s it. Nobody else. Both Babe Ruth, and Honus Wagner received 95.13% of the vote when they were elected to the Hall.
Even without Ohtani, the Dodgers have the following starting pitchers to construct a dangerous rotation: Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Roki Sasaki, Tony Gonsolin, Dustin May, Bobby Miller and Landon Knack. Clayton Kershaw could also be in the mix as he remains a free agent but it is hard to imagine him playing for anyone else.
Roki Sasaki speaks out on choosing the Los Angeles Dodgers and teaming up with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
New York Yankees legend CC Sabathia, 2009 World Series champion, has confessed his choice for the greatest MLB player of all time, not picking Babe Ruth.
Sasaki said he prioritized joining a team that would embrace a Japanese player, but explained that there were other reasons why he ultimately chose the Dodgers.
Roki Sasaki will be playing the 2025 MLB season with the Los Angeles Dodgers and will be the highest paid international prospect, as well as helping superstar Shohei Ohtani.
Ohtani sent a text to Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman even before Sasaki’s agent informed the club.
L.A.'s run of star additions has angered opposing fan bases and sounded alarms across the sport. But is the team or the system to blame?
