The Los Angeles Dodgers are the most ambitious team in terms of personnel improvement this summer.
Shohei Ohtani was a franchise-altering acquisition for the Dodgers this offseason.
The Dodgers and Ohtani have a $700 million, 10-year deal.
This is the biggest sports contract ever signed in North America.
Joining the top baseball team and heavy favorite to win the World Series, Ohtani will now have a permanent home in baseball.
Ohtani has one of everything when it comes to personal accomplishments.
On the other hand, he has never made it to the MLB playoffs.
It is highly probable that he will have his initial opportunity to do that this season.
Ohtani appears to be in excellent shape and prepared to pursue another MVP award in a video that the Dodgers shared on Twitter during the offseason.
A two-way player, Ohtani is well-known for that.
After elbow surgery in 2024, he will be unable to pitch for the rest of the season.
Regardless, he is a top-tier batter and is poised for a breakout season.
It almost seems unfair to have Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman in the same lineup.
As the league’s leading scorer, this club is a heavy favorite to earn the National League’s top seed.
Ohtani will likely spend the remainder of his playing career with the Dodgers.
If they don’t win one global championship, it will be a huge letdown.
Ohtani is also among the candidates for most valuable player in both leagues.
The Dodgers’ expectations for Ohtani are through the roof, but that’s just the deal he signed.
