The biggest free agent of the MLB offseason, and possibly in baseball history, has found his new home.

Two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani is joining the Dodgers on a record-setting deal worth $700 million over 10 years.

Ohtani made the news official with a post to Instagram.

"To all the fans and everyone involved in the baseball world, I apologize for taking so long to come to a decision," Ohtani wrote. "I have decided to choose the Dodgers as my next team."

Ohtani's deal is a game-changer. While there is no athlete like Ohtani on the planet, his deal puts the world one step closer to an athlete signing a billion-dollar deal.

Fans across the baseball world were in awe, and congratulated Ohtani on his new home.
