Shohei Otani

A US reporter reported that Otani T-shirts were being sold at Super Walmart.

“Shohei Otani” has a strong presence at the supermarket. “This man is everywhere in Los Angeles County,” an American reporter said with amazement, noting that Otani’s shirts were on sale at Super Walmart.

The “unguaranteed position” he gained after leaving Chunichi: A challenge to becoming a real regular that Kyoda doesn’t know yet

Reporter Eric Stephen, host of the Dodgers-related podcast program “Three-Inning Save Podcast,” updated his X (formerly Twitter) on the 5th (6th Japan time). Walmart is a retail supermarket operating in the United States, and the store reportedly sold white shirts with the words “Sho-Time” written on them, as well as shirts with an illustration of Otani wearing a Dodgers uniform.

Otani’s joining the Dodgers has been decided, and Otani-related goods are appearing one after another. The uniform broke Fanatics’ highest sales record within 48 hours of release. Japanese shops are also flooded with orders, and a “battle” among fans has begun even before the opening.

Shohei Otani finally appeared at the supermarket. Fans commented on the post, saying things like, “What Walmart is this from?”, “Bring it to San Diego,” and “L.A. is great.”

“Bleacher Report” ranks 14 players with large contracts…Otani ranks first

The 10-year, $700 million (approximately 100.1 billion yen) contract that pitcher Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers has been highly praised in the United States. On the 3rd (4th Japan time), the American sports media outlet Bleacher Report “ranked” players who have signed contracts worth more than $300 million (approximately 42.8 billion yen). Otani took first place.

Otani’s contract is deferred payment of $680 million (approximately 97.2 billion yen), which is 97% of the total amount. The team’s total annual salary, which is subject to the luxury tax, is calculated at approximately $46 million (approximately 6.578 billion yen), so that the team will not be under financial pressure. Zachary D. Reimer of the same media ranked Ohtani first among the 14 players who have signed contracts worth more than $300 million (approximately 42.8 billion yen).

This rating also focuses on predicting future contributions. Regarding deferred payments and management, he argued that “we need to be honest in acknowledging two important points.” The Dodgers are expected to receive at least $50 million annually in marketing and advertising revenue. “It’s important to recognize that this is not only a win for the roster, but a huge win for the marketing department as well,” he wrote.

Otani will concentrate on being a batter this season due to surgery on his right elbow. The media said Ohtani’s ideal future would be to “return to being the only true two-way star in MLB history in 2025 after recovering from his second elbow surgery.” “This guy is a two-time unanimous MVP and has the highest WAR of anyone, but his WAR is still underrated.”

He also mentioned what would happen if he was unable to return as a pitcher. “It may not be ideal, but Ohtani has options as a hitter.” “It’s not hard to imagine him being a typical superstar outfielder with the power to hit 40 home runs and the speed and shoulders to compete for a Gold Glove.” He also had success as an outfielder. I was sure.

One-head T-shirt worn by former Softbank player Moore when he was with the Angels.

“RotoWear” T-shirts, which are loved by many major leaguers, are available in a variety of designs. When former SoftBank pitcher Matt Moore played for the Angels, his favorite T-shirt was a “one-head” T-shirt with Ohtani’s face and arms and legs sticking out. RotoWear representative Kenny Tebelowitz revealed, “We are planning to release a blue-gray version.”

Moore’s favorite was the “Sho Yeah T-shirt,” which had an anime design and featured Otani shouting “SHO YEAAHH!” When Moore was with the Angels, he even wore it for three consecutive days of pregame practice. He once told a reporter, “That’s great.” However, in August, Moore was traded to the Guardians. After that, he never wore it, although it was a given.

With Ohtani’s transfer to the Dodgers, he will no longer be able to wear the red “Sho Yeah T-shirt.” This T-shirt is one of Teberowitz’s favorites. He said, “I like this brand of powdered juice from the United States because it looks like a Kool-Aid character.”

Tebelowitz’s policy is that “I want all of my T-shirts to be original and unique,” but Otani’s T-shirts are a different story. “We’re planning to release a blue-gray version. It’s Los Angeles color,” he said, promising to sell a “Dodgers version.” Moore is a member of the Guardians, so he probably won’t be wearing a blue T-shirt… The team is also looking forward to the day when players will wear the Dodgers Sho Yeah T-shirts.

The Dodgers nine are all excited to be teammates with Shohei Otani.

Pitcher Shohei Ohtani has joined the Dodgers on a historic 10-year, $700 million (approximately 98.9 billion yen) contract, and his fellow players have welcomed him. With the Angels, he showed top-class performance in pitching and hitting, surprising not only fans but also major leaguers. It seems like they can’t wait for the season to start with the addition of that player.

Pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who was traded from the Rays and signed a five-year contract extension, received a video message from Ohtani upon his transfer, saying, “I want to hit a home run for you.” “That was definitely one of the big factors. It’s the opportunity to play with probably the best player of all time. I played against him so I knew he was a great player,” he said, looking forward to playing together.

“He carries a lot of weight both on and off the field, like dealing with the media. He has plenty of excuses to be an asshole. I’ve heard from many people that he has his own ideas and is a level-headed person. I’m impressed,” he said, praising his humanity.

Pitcher Joe Kelly, who handed over his jersey number 17, was also pleased, saying, “I’m excited. He’s a great guy.” Regarding his wife Ashley’s posting of the “recruitment video” on social media, he said, “She was happy about the video and thanked me for (giving her) her uniform number.” . After that, Otani gifted him a new Porsche.

Infielder Gavin Lux appeared on the podcast “Foul Territory” and said with a wry smile, “I shook his hand. I also met his translator. He’s huge.” “He makes me feel like a kid when I stand next to him. I’m looking forward to playing with him. He’s a unicorn,” he said.

Infielder Max Muncy also praised the 10-year, $700 million mega contract on the same program, saying, “Oh my god, this is a huge amount of money,” and “I can’t predict what he’s going to do.” “We may have to quickly renovate Camelback Ranch (the team’s spring training facility in Glendale, Arizona). I think we’ll have to add a few more security guards,” he said, also suggesting ways to combat fever. .

Not only fans but also his teammates are curious to see what kind of performance Otani will show in 2024.
