Stop me if you’ve heard this before: The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed a Japanese superstar.
That’s right. Less than two weeks after inking Shohei Ohtani to a record-breaking 10-year contract, the Dodgers reportedly agreed to sign right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a 12-year contract worth $325 million on Thursday.
Ohtani and Yamamoto, teammates last spring when Japan won the 2023 World Baseball Classic, are reuniting in Los Angeles.
