Shohei Ohtani made a greedy vow to Dodgers Exec while celebrating World Series victory

Shohei Ohtani is now a World Series champion, but it’s clear he wants more.

Shortly after the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Yankees to win the World Series in five games on Wednesday night, Ohtani ran into Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations. He immediately made a promise.

When the Dodgers gave Ohtani a ten-year contract worth $700 million, the goal was to win championships. According to The Athleticsthought Ohtani Friedman and said“Okay. Nine more, nine more.”

The nine he’s talking about are World Series titles. Ohtani still has nine years left on his contract. So the greatest baseball player in the world said his goal is to win a title every year he plays for the Dodgers.

After that interaction, Friedman said, “His freshman year he won a championship. He said, ‘This is easy. We’re just going to do it nine more times.'”

It’s hard to argue with Ohtani having the best first season with a new franchise in MLB history. He hit .310, with 54 home runs, 130 RBIs, an OPS of 1.036 and he stole 59 bases, becoming the first player to ever score 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in one season. To top it all off, he went on to lead his team to a World Series title.

It will be difficult for Ohtani to top his 2024 season. But if anyone can do it, it’s him.
