The Dodgers have been marketing baseball in Japan since the 1950's. The Dodgers have a long history of international signings. Take just the Japanese players: Hideo Nomo, Kaz Ishii, Takashi Saito, Hiroki Kuroda, Kenta Maeda in addition to the latest of Ohtani and Yamamoto. You think some of these young Japanese players have ever heard of Pittsburgh, Milwaukee or Kansas City? Let's see a warm climate would be nice, a large Japanese community wouldn't be bad, how about a stadium filled with fans and a team that WITHIN THE RULES is doing everything they can to win. The so called other teams, by the way NEVER IDENTIFIED are up in arms over the Dodgers signings. They're just trying to redirect the narrative away from the fact that they are poorly run.
