As baseball’s undisputed best player, Shohei Ohtani found himself in high demand as he entered free agency in 2023. After a relatively quiet yet attention-grabbing search, the two-time MVP and 29-year-old sensation bid farewell to Orange County, opting to relocate just an hour north to Los Angeles, leaving the Angels for the perennial powerhouse and World Series contender, the Dodgers. Ohtani’s groundbreaking 10-year, $700 million deal now stands as the largest contract in North American professional sports history. It’s no surprise that a deep-pocketed organization like the Dodgers would take such a monumental risk on a player who consistently contends for both the Cy Young and MVP awards year after year. So, to celebrate Ohtani’s remarkable success and this historic moment, let’s take a closer look at his journey to Los Angeles through a set of trading cards.
