By friskySHOOKface Go To PostI know a few dodgers fans that will buy an Ohtani jersey asap so yeah the $$$$ will pour in for merchandiseSadly that money is shared but yeah the Dodgers are loaded and Ohtani is the most famous player on the planet. Japanese folks will plan once in a lifetime family vacations around his seasons. He will be worth the investment
By Koko Go To PostFrisky I need you to find your wallet, Yamamoto is not going to sign himself.your rockies might get him.

In an effort to enable the Dodgers to continue spending around stars Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, Ohtani agreed to defer all but $2 million of his annual salary — $68 million of his $70 million per year — until after the completion of the contract. The deferred money is to be paid out without interest from 2034 to 2043.

By blackace Go To PostHe wasn't worth the money just a week ago.. lol
Doesn’t mean I don’t respect him or angry he got that money.
I still think it is a big risk with his arm issues.

Bro I took a shit and forgot my phone. By the time I got out of the restroom the jerseys were up and all the authentic were gone :(
Still got a limited jersey tho
Now time for Yamamoto
By blackace Go To PostGrandson of the Wind in SF.
The Giants finally signed someone
Niiiice.
Dude got paid.
Almost twice what was expected.
Dude is without a doubt the best Korean player.
Will be interesting to see if he tries to hit for more power.
Dude is a great contact hitter and strikes out rarely.
At the very worst he will be a better Kim Ha Seong, who he played on the same team with.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostNiiiice.Strike out rate 5% which is amazing

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39165813/japanese-star-yoshinobu-yamamoto-agrees-join-dodgers-sources-say
Star Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto has agreed to terms to join the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to ESPN sources and multiple reports, ending a frenzied free agency with the second-largest guarantee to a pitcher in baseball history.
The 25-year-old Yamamoto, who has won three consecutive MVP awards and Sawamura Awards – Nippon Professional Baseball's equivalent of the Cy Young – drew significant interest from the New York Yankees, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays. (Please remove the winner from that group.)
By blackace Go To PostDodgers are going to make MLB introduce a hard cap.
By Fenderputty Go To PostSo much money being spent lol1billion on Japanese players alone
By friskySHOOKface Go To PostDodgers tickets gonna be $200 minimum
Fans can defer $198 out 10 years, so no big deal.
By RAThasReturned Go To PostNo excuses for the DodgersYanks got this, mvp-judge and soto.
By blackace Go To Post1billion on Japanese players alone
I imagine the new Dodgers poke bowls will be better this year
Washed Sox owners focusing on soccer instead of baseball
