The Los Angeles Dodgers took a leap of faith when they signed Shohei Ohtani. The post Shohei Ohtani Reveals His Freakish Decade-Long Blueprint With the Dodgers After $700 Million Gamble appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Ohtani also recently revealed his message was to Sasaki just before the latter picked the Dodgers.
