Shohei Ohtani, the celebrated Los Angeles Angels star, and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, are preparing for an exciting new chapter as they announce they are expecting their first child.

The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series in 2024, and they appear set to get even better in 2025. With Shohei Ohtani returning back to the starting rotation

TOKYO — Shohei Ohtani and his wife Mamiko Tanaka are expecting their first child . Ohtani’s Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Mookie Betts has some advice. “He should get his sleep now,” Betts said, speaking Tuesday in Tokyo. “Because when the baby comes he won’t get any.” Betts has two children and knows from experience.

Mookie Betts, on a promotional tour in Japan, advised Shohei Ohtani to "get his sleep now" and discussed his first impressions of Roki Sasaki.

Following the World Series triumph in October last year, the Los Angeles Dodgers upgraded the rotation by signing two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell in the offseason.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been on an unprecedented stretch that dates back to last offseason when they signed Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto to respective record-setting contracts.

The Roki Sasaki sweepstakes have ended with the Los Angeles Dodgers as the winners, but a current pitcher played a large role in doing so.

Young Japanese flamethrower Roki Sasaki said on Instagram that he's signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, giving the defending World Series champions even more star power entering 2025.
