You'll hear the Dodgers' name in conjunction with basically every free agent coming out of Asia, even if they're not from Japan (the overseas epicenter of Dodgers fandom). They were already popular in Korea prior to his signing, but they made inroads with free agents coming from the KBO when they signed Hyeseong Kim this season.
Shohei Ohtani had a hand in recruiting Kim and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto may or may not be trying to recruit Munetaka Murakami. Kim could get to work as another unofficial Dodgers scout by courting new MLB free agent and former KBO teammate Sung-Mun Song.
