Shohei Ohtani sent baseball fans into a frenzy on Thursday when he announced on Instagram that he had recently been married.
The reticent Los Angeles Dodgers superstar’s social media post prompted countless questions from reporters and reactions from curious fans who wanted to know more details about the marriage.
As it turns out, the media and fans weren’t the only ones caught off guard by Ohtani’s personal news. The Dodgers, who inked the Japanese two-way star to a record, $700 million contract back in December, were “surprised” by the announcement, as manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
