The future of Shohei Ohtani and the Japanese media that follows him will soon be decided. It is expected that Ohtani’s new contract will make history as the biggest in American sports. However, this decision also means that reporters from Japan will have to move to wherever Ohtani lands. For these journalists, the move comes with challenges like obtaining visas, uprooting families, and adjusting to new countries and cultures. Ohtani’s influence extends beyond baseball, as he plays a significant role in the economies of both the U.S. and Japan. The impact of Ohtani’s decision reaches far beyond the game of baseball.
