Dodgers likely will open 2025 season in Japan: ‘It would make a lot of sense'

In what would be a homecoming for Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Dodgers likely will open the 2025 MLB season in Japan.

While complete plans have not yet been finalized, the Dodgers are believed to be likely to open their 2025 season with an international series in Japan, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation not authorized to speak publicly. Including the Dodgers in MLB’s 2025 Japan games became a logical decision after Japanese stars Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto signed with the club this offseason.

But obviously it would make a lot of sense.” If the Dodgers are selected, they would become the first MLB team to open back-to-back seasons with overseas trips, following their two-game series against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea last week. Though there is no precedent for MLB sending a team on such lengthy journeys in consecutive years, there is also no rules in the collective bargaining agreement preventing it.
