Shohei Otani smiles brightly
The American professional baseball Major League (MLB) Los Angeles Dodgers, which invested an astronomical amount of money to recruit Shohei Otani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, recovered the investment by signing marketing contracts with Japanese companies one after another. I’m doing it.
On the 10th (Korean time), the Dodgers announced that they had signed a marketing partnership agreement with THK, a Japanese mechanical parts company.
THK obtained the right to conduct advertising activities, including installing an LED billboard at Dodger Stadium. The specific contract size is unknown.
This is the eighth time this year that the Dodgers have signed a marketing contract with a Japanese company.
The Dodgers signed contracts, including advertising, with various Japanese companies, including private airline All Nippon Airways (ANA), tire manufacturer TOYOTIRE, pharmaceutical company Kowa, and Daechang Industrial, which operates 100 yen shop Daiso.
Some analysts say that the Dodgers covered some of the money for Otani and Yamamoto from Japanese companies.
USA Today reporter Bob Nightingale said on social media that day, “Money is constantly flowing into the Dodgers with Ohtani and Yamamoto.”
Ahead of this season, the Dodgers signed a huge free agent contract with Otani, who doubles as a pitcher, for 10 years and a total of $700 million (approximately KRW 957.3 billion), and Yamamoto, who was considered the biggest pitcher in free agency, had a contract period of 12 years. In 2018, a contract was signed for a total of 325 million dollars (444.4 billion won). 성인웹툰
