Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s massive contract had fans amazed the Dodgers spent $1 billion on two players

The Los Angeles Dodgers have won the second major sweepstakes of the MLB offseason, landing Japanese right hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto with a contract reportedly worth more than $300 million.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan broke the news on Thursday night that Yamamoto was signing with LA for 12 years and $325 million, joining his fellow countryman Shohei Ohtani in blue — and giving the two-way star another reason to enjoy his time at the Rams-Saints game on Thursday night.

The 25-year-old Yamamoto was always expected to get a massive deal after posting a 1.16 ERA, 0.884 WHIP and 9.3 strikeouts per nine innings rate in Japan last year. But the Dodgers spending more than $1 billion this offseason on just two players is a bit harder to process.

Acquiring Ohtani, Tyler Glasnow and Yamamoto puts an already World Series-caliber roster into the stratosphere. Or at least it does on paper, anyway.

Baseball fans tried to take it all in.
