Shohei Ohtani’s meteoric rise to the top of the baseball world was a joy to watch, and he made history once again. The Japanese pitcher signed a ten-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers worth $700 million, which just happens to be the biggest deal in baseball history. After weeks of speculations about his future in the MLB, Ohtani finally decided where he wanted to spend the next decade of his career. He was reportedly seeking a deal above $500 million, but the Dodgers agreed to cash out even more, paying him an average annual value of $70 million, not including endorsements. Ohtani confirmed the news on social media and apologized to his fans for taking so long to come to a decision. He’s joining the Dodgers after five years with the Los Angeles Angels, and he expressed gratitude to the team’s fans who supported him through all of his ups and downs. The 29-year-old basketball player is now turning his sight to the future, and he’s expecting great things from his time with the Dodgers. “To all Dodgers fans, I pledge to always do what’s best for the team and always continue to give it my all to be the best version of myself. Until the last day of my playing career, I want to continue to strive forward not only for the Dodgers but for the baseball world,” wrote Ohtani on Instagram.
