Dodgers Finally Announce Shohei Ohtani-LA Rejoices and Ohtani Promises “Parades”
Deal is done. Los Angeles has their guy. After some heavy negotiations and contract structuring; the Dodgers finally announce Shohei Ohtani as a member of their seven World Series titles franchise.
After fans freaked from a possible “blunder” by manager Dave Roberts; who revealed the Dodgers had met with Shohei. LA fans can now breathe a sigh of relief. No harm done, and Shohei will be rocking blue and white from here on out. In a well thought out announcement (and there was also a SICK anime video), the Dodgers state,
“The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed two-time American League Most Valuable Player Shohei Ohtani to a 10-year contract.
Ohtani joins the Dodgers after spending six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels. The three-time All-Star has hit .274/.366/.556 (.922 OPS) with 171 homers and 437 RBI during his MLB career while posting a 38-19 record with a 3.01 ERA and 608 strikeouts in 481 2/3 innings across 86 career starts.
‘On behalf of the L.A. Dodgers and our fans everywhere, we welcome Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers, the home of Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax and Hideo Nomo, three of the sport’s most legendary and pathbreaking players. We congratulate him on his historic contract with our storied franchise,’ said Mark Walter, Chairman of the Los Angeles Dodgers
The best in Sho. Welcome to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Shohei Ohtani!

The Ohtani effect is already readily noticeable. For instance, on social media platform, Instagram; the New York Yankees are in danger of being dethroned. The Yanks have enjoyed dominance as being the most followed MLB team on the photo and video sharing entity. However, since word started spreading about Shohei being a Dodger, the winds are changing.
The Yankees went from a nice lead in front of the Dodgers; being a few hundred thousand followers ahead. To now being tied. Both organizations have 3.3 million followers on IG.
Nevertheless, Shohei isn’t in it for popularity contests. He wants to win… and soon. That is why he signed with LA.
Ohtani is also giving Los Angeles fans something to really root and hope for, multiple championships. In a new statement, Ohtani tells the LA people,
“Dodger fans, thank you for welcoming me to your team. I can say 100 percent that you, the Dodger organization and I share the same goal – to bring World Series parades to the streets of Los Angeles.”
