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 $700 million, 10-year contract last weekend, a deal that the team announced Monday and provides that 97% of the money be deferred without interest and not fully paid until 2043.
"The World Series is the goal going in," reliever Joe Kelly said Wednesday.
Ohtani will be introduced during a news conference in Dodger Stadium's Centerfield Plaza starting 3 p.m. PST.
He was out of sight at the stadium on Wednesday, meeting with teammates, including seven-time All-Star outfielder Mookie Betts and Kelly.
