The next stop on MLB’s World Tour is here, and it's awfully fitting. The Dodgers and Cubs open the 2025 season in the Tokyo Series, with a pair of games at the Tokyo Dome on March 18 and 19. Both clubs will showcase some of MLB’s best Japanese-born talent;

Yesterday the Dodgers announced that pitchers Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki would start the two-game series against the Cubs in Tokyo. Yamamoto, from Okayama, and Sasaki, from Rikuzentakata are both from Japan and both came to the States as high-profile international free agents.

We're just days away from the soft launch of the 2025 MLB season in Tokyo, where the defending world champion Los Angeles Dodgers will face off against the Chicago Cubs.

Sasaki, meanwhile, is the Dodgers' latest Japanese acquisition, joining his countrymen Yamamoto and Shohei Ohtani. He was also an NPB star, earning two all-stars and a perfect game for the Chiba Lotte Mariners. He also set the league record for strikeouts in a game with 19 and holds a world record of 13 consecutive strikeouts.

The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar is suddenly at risk of missing the team's opening series in Tokyo, Japan against the Chicago Cubs.

Upon the arrival of the Los Angeles Dodgers in Japan, the club announced the official 31-player roster for the Tokyo Series, which marks the beginning of the 2025 Major League Bas

Dodgers trip to the Tokyo Dome. The trip includes exhibition games against Yomiuri and Hanshin, concluding with two regular season games against the Cubs.
