Shohei Ohtani has been the star of the MLB offseason, signing a massive 10-year, $700 million free agent contract. But running a close second in notoriety among fans might be Ohtani’s dog, Decoy (or “Dekopin” in Japanese), who accompanied the two-way talent while he won his second American League MVP award.
Decoy is now enjoying the perks of being an international superstar. On Thursday, Ohtani revealed that Decoy had been presented with a visa allowing him to travel between the United States and Japan. Well, sort of.
The visa is a replica and a supersized version of it was given to Ohtani (and Decoy) as a gift when he visited the U.S. embassy in Japan this week. Rahm Emanuel, the U.S. ambassador to Japan, presented the giant-sized document to Ohtani and received a Dodgers jersey in return.
