Shohei Ohtani, the two-way phenom who has been far and away the most valuable player in baseball the past three seasons, reached a free-agent deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he announced via Instagram on Saturday.

The deal is for 10 years and $700 million, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, shattering the MLB record for total value in a contract and average annual value in a contract.
