Japanese Major League Baseball superstar Ohtani Shohei has announced on Instagram that he has reached an agreement to join the Los Angeles Dodgers.
His agent's office said he was offered a 10-year, 700-million-dollar contract. US media reports said this is the largest contract in sports history.
In 2023, Ohtani's sixth season, he leads the American League with 44 homeruns.
As a pitcher he has earned 10 wins to become the first-ever MLB player to earn double-digit wins and home runs for two consecutive seasons.
Ohtani won the Most Valuable Player Award in the American League in 2021 and 2023. He is the first player in MLB history to win the title by unanimous vote more than once.
By joining the Dodgers, Ohtani is sure to seek further success that has evaded him so far -- that is, to play and win the World Series.
