LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Dodgers will officially introduce Shohei Ohtani at a news conference on Thursday.
The two-time AL MVP agreed to a record-setting $700 million, 10-year deal last weekend.
Ohtani will address the media at Dodger Stadium's Centerfield Plaza during an outdoor afternoon news conference.
A unique two-way superstar as both a hitter and pitcher, the 29-year-old Ohtani left the Los Angeles Angels as a free agent after six years to sign with the Dodgers in a deal they announced Monday night.
Ohtani's move from Anaheim to Hollywood has sent fans on both sides of the Pacific Ocean flocking to buy Dodgers merchandise and tickets on the secondary market.
