Shortly after they signed Shohei Ohtani to the largest contract in MLB history, the Los Angeles Dodgers signed Yoshinobu Yamamoto to a 12-year, $325 million deal.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Dodgers have spent over $1 billion this offseason and, in part, have created one of, if not the best, lineups in baseball history.
As a result, fans have had to resort to humor to make light of the spending spree that the Dodgers have gone on.
In particular, Diamondbacks fans are having a great time with the new phrase, “the power of friendship.”
After all, it would not be hard to say that if it were not for the D-backs sweeping the Dodgers in the NLDS a few months ago, Los Angeles would not be so eager to acquire a super team.
Some of the best reactions across social media following the addition of Yoshinobu Yamamoto:
The Arizona Diamondbacks really made the Dodgers spend $1,000,000,000 on two players
