The Los Angeles Dodgers have quickly established themselves as one of the biggest brands in baseball.

As the Dodgers continue to dominate baseball, the excitement for the 2025 season is palpable.

Fresh off of a World Series win in 2024, the roster has been retooled this offseason with Cy Young award winners, international stars, and core pieces from the prior championship run to further be feared by MLB opponents.

From a global standpoint, the Dodgers are one of the biggest teams in sports, not just baseball. This is in large part to the ball club’s Japan-born talent.

Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto both famously made their way to Los Angeles before the start of 2024 and quickly showed why they earned their combined $1.1 billion contracts during the offseason.

Ohtani, a then two-time American League MVP, showed out in 2024 by not just winning the National League MVP award, but becoming the first-ever player to attain more than 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in one season.

In his first-ever MLB season, Yamamoto went 7-2 with an ERA of 3.00. He had 105 blistering strikeouts to only 22 walks across 90 innings pitched.

This offseason, the Dodgers followed suit and landed the long awaited 23-year-old phenom in Roki Sasaki as he too made his way to MLB after four formiddable seasons in Nippon Professional Baseball.

Additionally, the manager who brought two World Series rings to Los Angeles since 2020 in Dave Roberts was born in Naha, Okinawa.

L.A. starts off their 2025 campaign in Tokyo taking on the Chicago Cubs on March 18. and tickets, as expected, are not cheap to see the country’s homegrown stars.

Per Fox LA, the cheapest seats are about $2,000 and the closer tickets to the action are upwards of $19,000.

Remember, this is a season opener. October’s World Series saw the cheapest resale tickes at over $1,100 dollars according to the LA Times.
