As expected, it was announced today that Shohei Ohtani will be posted by the Nippon Ham Fighters of Nippon Professional Baseball later tonight. The Japanese superstar now has three weeks to sign with an MLB team, and the Dodgers are expected to be heavily involved. So are 29 other teams. However, instead of looking at Ohtani’s obvious talent (which I did last year), or do the Dodgers’ homework for them, I think it’s a good idea to recap and reflect upon the Dodgers’ long history with him. It’s more unique than most, and could be one of the deciding factors if the Dodgers end up signing him.
