Despite Shohei Ohtani’s recent huge deal signing, nobody seems interested in anything beyond the name of his dog

Alright, so far as we are aware, Shohei Ohtani is widely considered to be the greatest baseball player of all time. Only he has ever won the Most Valuable Player award twice with unanimous votes from his peers in Major League Baseball.

The record-setting 10-year, $700 million deal he just inked with the Los Angeles Dodgers also lets us know that he’s extremely rich.

The nаme оf his dоg is sоmething we аre unаwаre оf. Fоr аll intents аnd purpоses, it is the cutest query bоthering bаsebаll fаns right nоw.

Walker Buehler, a pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers, is wondering if the puppy was really named after his club.

“So, in the end, his canine was called Dodger?” He posted on X on December 9th.

A few minutes later, he followed up, saying, “I hope it was Walker, but I suppose I’ll find out soon.”

We started thinking of possible names for Ohtani’s pet that could be related to the franchise since he is now officially a Dodger.

What about Buehler, the Dog-Walker?

Or how about Mookie Betts’s Mookie Pets? He was the MVP and an All-Star seven times.

In exchange for Clayton Kershaw, who has won the Cy Young Award three times, what about Clayton Ker-Paw?

On the other hand, perhaps Ohtani is nostalgic and chose the moniker “Orel Furshiser” to pay homage to the legendary Orel Hershiser, a former Dodgers pitcher? Regarding the three-time World Series champion and nine-time All-Star Don Drysdale, don’t forget to mention Don Drys-tail.

That’s the question with the $700 million. Those chew toys are expensive.
