On December 10, Beijing time, Japanese baseball player Shohei Ohtani officially signed a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and it is reported that his contract value is 700 million US dollars for 10 years, setting a record in the history of world sports!

Shohei Ohtani, 29 years old, is a famous world-class baseball player and a rare "two-knife" player in modern professional baseball, who can still serve as an outfielder in addition to pitchers. He started his career in the Japanese Professional Baseball League in 2013, joined MLB in 2018 and played for the Los Angeles Angels, where he won the honor of MLB Rookie King and 2-time MVP within 5 years.

Today, MLB team Los Angeles Dodgers officially announced the signing of Shohei Ohtani. According to several media reports, his contract is 10 years and $700 million, and according to the Financial Times, this is the largest contract in the history of professional sports in North America, far surpassing the record contracts of baseball, football and ice hockey.

It is the largest contract in the history of world sports! In comparison, the record contract in football is the two-year contract signed by Ronaldo and Riyadh Victory for $400 million. And NBA superstar James has "only earned" $482 million in his career so far.
