After announcing 12-year contract worth US$325 million By Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto The Dodgers introduced the Japanese star in a news conference at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday.
“I am thrilled to be a member of this historic franchise and cannot express how important it is to be able to call Los Angeles my new home,” Yamamoto said.
The deal, which includes a $50 million signing bonus, has no deferred money and includes opt-out provisions after years six and eight, according to a source. The guaranteed money is a record for a major league player, surpassing Gerrit Cole's contract with the Yankees by $1 million (nine years, $324 million), although Cole has an average annual sum of plus something.
This contract follows that of fellow Japanese player Shohei Ohtani, who signed a 10-year deal worth US$700 million earlier this month, an agreement that includes unprecedented deferred money.
“I wouldn't say (Ohtani) was the only reason I decided to come,” Yamamoto said. “Even if he had decided to sign with another team, I probably would have ended up in Los Angeles as a Dodger.”
Yamamoto, 25, is considered a potential leader of the rotation, despite his physical fitness. At five-foot-10, the right-hander's repertoire includes a 94-99 mph fastball and multiple secondary pitches to destroy hitters: the famous curveball, split-fingered fastball and cutter/slider.
Yamamoto comes into the Majors after winning the Triple Crown of pitching in Japan, where he led his league in wins, ERA and strikeouts. He also won the Eiji Sawamura Award, Japan's version of the Cy Young Award, in each of the past three seasons. In that span, he went 49-16 with a 1.44 earned run average and 580 strikeouts.
