Shohei Ohtani to Sign $700 Million Deal With the Los Angeles Dodgers

Shohei Ohtani on Saturday announced that he will join the Los Angeles Dodgers, resolving the biggest mystery in baseball. He is set to sign a contract worth $700 million over the next 10 years that will make him one of the highest-paid athletes in pro sports history.

The move ends Ohtani’s six-year tenure with the Los Angeles Angels, where the 29-year-old Japanese star established himself as a modern-day Babe Ruth. He can pitch, he can hit, and he does both at an elite standard at the highest level of the game.
