Shohei Ohtani just announced he will be a Los Angeles Dodger … reportedly landing a massive 10-year, $700 million contract — the richest deal in Major League Baseball and North American sports history.
The Japanese two-way superstar personally shared the news on his Instagram page just minutes ago … apologizing for keeping the baseball world on pins and needles as he came up with his decision to leave the Los Angeles Angels.
“First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone involved with the Angels organization and the fans who have supported me over the past six years, as well as to everyone involved with each team that was part of this negotiation process,” Ohtani said in his post. “Especially to the Angels fans who supported me through all the ups and downs, your guys’ support and cheer meant the world to me. The six years I spent with the Angels will remain etched in my heart forever.”
Ohtani also pledged to give his absolute best on the field for the Dodgers fanbase … adding, “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.”
The Dodgers are getting the most entertaining player in the sport — as Shohei is a dominant force on both sides of the ball.
