December 2023 was an earthquake for the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was in that month that Japanese power arrived for the Los Angeles team. Shohei Ohtani was announced for the team and a contract that broke all records, worth $700 million.
But that wasn’t all, as the Dodgers really opened their checkbook to strengthen themselves for the 2024 season and beyond. They spared no expense in what it would cost them for their other Far East star.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto signed a 12-year contract worth $350 million. As expected, the comments came in both directions, those who were in favor and those who said it was a mistake.
The message from Astros legend Josh Reddick that went viral
Josh Reddick was one of those people who did not approve of the arrival of the Japanese pitcher to the Los Angeles team, and now, a year and a half later, with a series won and masterful performances, internet users have revived him so that he does not forget what he said at that time.
How do you give a guy $325 million without even throwing a pitch in MLB?
This message was written on December 20, 2023, and now Dodgers fans did not hold back and counterattacked the former player.
Yamamoto’s performances silenced many critics
This past Saturday, Yamamoto showed off a pitching gem that made it clear that he is here to work and earn every dollar he is paid to use his arm to knock down opponents.
In Game 2 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays, and after coming off an 11-4 thrashing in Game 1, the Japanese player showed that his quality, talent, precision and mental toughness will be at the service of his team to seek a second consecutive championship.
Yoshi took the entire game. From the first inning to the last, he took out and took out Blue Jays batters who did not even see the dust. In the end, he carried the 5-1 victory to tie the series heading into game three, which moves to the West Coast for Monday, October 27.
For some fans, Reddick should not turn off the phone these days, alluding to the fact that he could hide with the great performances of the oriental and that has left his critics silenced.
