I like Yamamoto’s interpreter. He translates Yamamoto's words very throughly without missing/chaning what he meant. Sounds very professional, too.

What I like about Japanese players is that we probably don’t have to worry about any off field shenanigans from them. 99 percent of them are pure class

And as a baseball fan, I'm sure you agree that this year's World Series was needed. The Texas Rangers had been waiting about 60 yrs for that one. The only thing I would have rather seen is Philadelphia VS Texas in that one. Bryce Harper has done all one man can do to get mediocre teams over the hump, and unfortunately, it's impossible for any one man to do. But Damned if he hasn't come close.

With Yamamoto, Glasnow, a healthy Walker Buelher, and Kersh to lead by example, we have a formidible starting rotation. Adding Ohtani next year and it just doesn't seem "fair". How good is your pitching when Clayton Kershaw is your weakest pitcher?

Texas Rangers: Pouch Seager from the Dodgers in FA, buy themselves a ring with tons of free agents. Dodgers: HEYYY NOW! We are richer than you guys, we can do that too! In fact, we did it in 2020!. Yankees: "we miss George, he actually spent the money correctly"
This Interpreter is So Good. I strongly believe that Yoshinobu will do Excellent Jobs. However, it is Pretty Bad. Many Japanese Baseball Players and Young Baseball Players in Anywhere want to Join Dodgers because of Shohei Ohtani. Shohei is Awesome Guy so Very Many Young Baseball Players respect him then they want to play with Shohei. So it will be Unfair among the Teams.

To be fair if you are spending a billion dollars Ohtani and Yamamoto are probably the best bets as two hard working people with no off the field issues. Yamamoto has a chance to be underpaid if he is able to pitch as well as he does in Japan, aka cy young every year.

He's fairly small. Even if his hands are bigger than average, the ability to control---as compared to the Nippon league---may end up being somewhat lacking thereof due to torque, etc. over time may yield results surprisingly less dominant and less injury free than Dodger fans or expecting or hoping. After all, there are differences here such as the size of the baseball, the weight of the baseball, stickiness of the baseball, mound, opposing players, etc.
