Playing for the Los Angeles Dodgers won't be the only big change for Shohei Ohtani this year.
The MLB superstar announced he is now married via Instagram on Thursday. Ohtani, who is famously private about his personal life, disclosed no details about his wedding or his new wife beyond that she is Japanese. The only picture included in his announcement post is his dog, Dekopin/Decoy.
The news arrived late at night in the United States and during the late afternoon in Japan.

Ohtani is getting in the habit of personally dropping massive news via an abrupt Instagram post, as he also announced he was signing with the Dodgers through his account earlier in the offseason.
