The Los Angeles Dodgers arrived in Tokyo to enthusiastic fans, especially welcoming Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Roki Sasaki. Both Ohtani and Yamamoto have connections to the Dodgers, with Sasaki starting fresh. As part of the team's integration and comfort in Japan, Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Sasaki organized a players-only dinner to express gratitude to their teammates. Manager Dave Roberts praised this initiative, highlighting the supportive environment cultivated around the new players. The Dodgers are set to play exhibition games and targeted matchups in the Tokyo Series against the Chicago Cubs.
"Shohei, on Sunday, he, Yoshinobu and Roki are hosting just the players, which is great. It's mandatory... They're going to bring this crazy sushi chef, go to some dinner."
"They want to ensure the team is plenty comfortable... The three not only figure to play prominent roles for the Dodgers in 2025, but they are sources of pride for Japan."
