“Going to Dodger Is Biggest Mistake, Will Be Overshadowed by Ohtani,” U.S. Media Blasts Yamamoto for ‘423.4 Billion Jackpots’

“The U.S. media is questioning Yamamoto’s teammate with Shohei Ohtani,” Japanese media outlet “Full Count” quoted Fox Sports as saying on Monday (Korea time). It called Yamamoto’s trip to the Dodgers the biggest mistake.

Yamamoto, who knocked on the Major League through the posting system, agreed to a 12-year contract worth $325 million (about 423.4 billion won) with the Dodgers, the strongest team in the National League West, on the 22nd and achieved his dream of entering the big league. 실시간 바카라사이트

Yamamoto signed a 10-year contract with Cleveland Indians (current Guardians) Wayne Garland in 1976 for the longest period in the history of a major league pitcher. The amount also broke the record for a major league pitcher beyond Gerrit Cole, who signed a nine-year, $324 million contract with the New York Yankees in December 2019.

Yamamoto is a top-ranked right-handed pitcher with 70 wins and 29 losses and a 1.82 ERA in 172 games in Japanese professional baseball. For the first time in the history of Japanese professional baseball, he won five consecutive pitcher titles in 2021 and 2022, and won the Sawamura Award, Japan’s Cy Young Award, for the third consecutive year. This season, he also left the NPB Orix Buffaloes with an overwhelming 16 wins and 6 losses with a 1.21 ERA in 23 games, and declared his challenge to the Major League after the end of the season.

“I was mad at Yamamoto,” Fox Sports radio host Rob Parker said. “Yamamoto has become a star player in Japan on his own. He is an incredible player. However, he is depreciating himself by choosing to work with Ohtani. Now that he will be shadowed by Ohtani, I wonder why he had to make such a choice. His contract with the Dodgers is his biggest mistake.”

Another host, Chris Broward, confronted Parker in a direct confrontation. Broward said, “Yamamoto has the potential to become the kind of thing the Dodgers need. Anyone who has a teammate can pitch according to his or her ability. I think Yamamoto did the right thing.”

The Dodgers, like a big market club, have used money to solve their problems in starting rotation. After signing Tyler Glasnow for an extended contract for 136.5 million dollars for five years on the 16th, he stood tall as the final winner of the match against Yamamoto that featured all prestigious Major League teams on the 22nd. He invested a whopping 325 million dollars over 12 years to create a new sense of ace to replace Clayton Kershaw. If Ohtani, who became a Dodgers man for 10 years worth 700 million dollars, resumes his pitching and batting career in 2025, his starting rotation will be truly the best.
