South Korean police found no explosives after searching the Gocheok Sky Dome following a bomb threat against Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. The threat, sent via email to South Korea\'s consulate general in Vancouver, claimed to be from a Japanese lawyer. Despite the threat being deemed non-credible and linked to a hoax caller, security measures were heightened for the MLB opening game in South Korea, where Ohtani made his competitive Dodgers debut with a record $700 million contract.
