SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean police said they’ve found no explosives at Seoul’s Gocheok Sky Dome after searching the site Wednesday following a reported bomb threat against Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani.
Police officers said they acted on a tip that there was a threat targeting the Japanese star but didn’t elaborate. Yonhap said the sender of the English-language email claimed to be a Japanese lawyer.
