Fans In Japan Celebrate Shohei Ohtani\'s Record Deal 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Dec 10, 2023 5:50 pm

Now that Shohei Ohtani has his money -- a record $700 million, 10-year contact with the Los Angeles Dodgers -- some fans in Japan are waiting for one more thing to complete the deal.

\"I want Ohtani to play in the World Series,\" said Isshin Watanabe, a baseball fan speaking Sunday near Tokyo\'s famous Ginza shopping area. \"That\'s my hope.\"

Baseball fans across Tokyo lined up Sunday to buy special editions of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, announcing Ohtani\'s move across town from the Angels to the Dodgers.
