The competition to cover Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) is hot. As many reporters gathered, the Dodgers also stepped forward.
Japan's Nikkan Sports announced on the 8th (Korea Standard Time) that "a new media temporary press box has been established in the Dodgers camp facility."
This offseason, the Dodgers successfully reinforced their power by spending an astronomical amount of money. The representative player is Ohtani. He signed a 10-year contract worth $700 million, the largest amount in professional sports history.
Interest in Ohtani's future has been heating up day after day because he was the best name in free agency. Ohtani chose the Dodgers.
Ohtani, who had a strong desire to win, offered an annualized dipper after the end of his contract to ease the Dodgers' financial burden, which sealed the deal for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto signed a 12-year, $325 million contract, the highest for a major league pitcher.
He also strengthened his starting lineup by signing Tyler Glasnow, who was acquired through a trade.
Naturally, interest in the Dodgers got even hotter. Ohtani is by far the most popular player.
Ohtani has not joined the spring training camp yet, but reports from fan fest to Ohtani and from personal training to Ohtani are coming out day after day.
The Dodgers Spring Camp will begin on the 9th, when pitchers and catchers will join first. The Dodgers have also begun to prepare for a crowd of reporters.
The media said, "We installed a special tent in the parking lot in front of the building's gate with a sign saying 'No Entry to No Permits'," adding, "We have tables and chairs and electric facilities. We have completed the press box by installing basic facilities such as refrigerators and fans."
Until last year, press boxes in clubhouses and stadiums were available, but this time a press box was created to accommodate more than 40 people.
"In particular, Ohtani is receiving attention from the media of Korea, Latin America, and Taiwan, as well as Japan and the United States," the media said. "Since the official opening match will be held in Seoul, many Korean media will come," he said. "There will be more after the 15th, when the Beast team joins." "There is a high possibility that many reporters will flock." 먹튀검증
