Shohei would be leaving the Los Angeles Angels and going to pitch for the Dodgers. Recently he signed a 10-year, $700 million contract. The deal becomes the most lucrative in decades.
Shohei wrote about the deal on Instagram, “The six years I spent with the Angels will remain etched in my heart forever,” He also wrote, “And to all Dodgers fans, I pledge to always do what’s best for the team and always continue to give it my all to be the best version of myself. Until the last day of my playing career. I want to continue to strive forward not only for the Dodgers but for the baseball world.”
Now the baseball star had gotten married. So, it seems that they both are going to celebrate the success. His wife would like to cheer him on amid his historic career.
