I just got back from two weeks in Japan, and I was honestly awesome to see how much Ohtani is everywhere. His face is on billboards, inside stores, trains, vending machines—basically, if you’re in a city center, you’re gonna see him!

  1. All that LA branding too? Dodgers making their money back on licensing alone. Anyone who says $700M wasnt a good deal, here’s proof it was.

  2. That’s great! I’m working on this right now too! I was so surprised tho when the first Dodger I saw when I landed was Yamamoto when I got on the train / subway. I gotta find some merch today.

  3. It’s no wonder sasaki will very incredibly highly sign with the dodgers. The dodgers have become the Chicago bulls of baseball and Shohei is our mj and both dominate Japanese sports media culture

  4. Is he making more off the field than on (excluding deferrals)? If so, anyone know how much more?

  5. LMAO I did the same thing too when I was there last month! Imma miss seeing his face every time I buy a bottle of Oi Ocha green tea 😪

  6. I got back a few days ago and didn’t see as much of him as I thought I would! On the vending machines with the tea, and in the big camera stores with the Seiko displays.

  7. It’s crazy to me that people thought 700 million for 10 years was expensive when he himself brings in just as much potentially in a year
