The Los Angeles Dodgers have two of the top three highest-paid MLB players, including two-way player Shohei Ohtani and right-handed starting pitcher Blake Snell. The pair will make $102 million and $65.

Ohtani is the second Japanese-born player to hit a home run in an MLB game played in Japan, joining Hideki Matsui. Matsui hit a two-run home run for the New York Yankees against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays at the Tokyo Dome on March 31, 2004.

Major League Baseball on Friday called this week's Tokyo Series between Japanese standout Shohei Ohtani's World Series champions Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs the largest standalone international event in its history.
