SHOEI OHTANI ..

[Shortstop]

TO THE DODGERS FOR 10 YEARS AND $700 MILLION ..

 

[Shortstop]

THOUGHT HE WOULD BE GOING TO TORONTO ..

 

[Shortstop]

THE DODGERS ARE SO STRONG NOW ..

 

[Vegas Dave]

Finally this comes up on GL! 😂

$700 million is so wild.

 

[Boner_18]

Unicorn gonna get unicorn money. From a Yankee fan perspective, I'm glad he's not in Toronto from a winning games perspective but would have liked to see him more often than the NL West.

He’s the best baseball player out of 8 billion+ people on the planet.

$70 million a year Gross

So that’s what, $40 million a year Net?

He won’t be able to play in MLB in his 40’s most likely so his high earning years are way more limited than a hedge fund manager like Ken Griffin

No one really cares that Ken Griffins net worth is $35 billion.

Griffin plays with numbers and Ohtani plays with baseballs. Like Boner said: unicorn gonna unicorn.

 

[tullamore]

Have the details of the deferred money come out. Need a present value calculation.

Who said gross? I said wild. As in "haha that's a lot of money" wild not "omg this is unjust" wild. Good for him. He's incredible. Hope he can bounce back from this injury and pitch at the same level again!

You didn’t say gross.

You misunderstood my use of Gross. Gross as in pre-tax.

Thanks to Tullys ? I don't even think this is "that much".

Lol.

I really interested in this contract. I wonder if going forward more players would be open to defer money when playing when playing for a team in a state with a high tax rate.

 

[FairWarning]

What a deferment.

 

[Vegas Dave]

What a deferment.

So obscene 😂

 

[roguejuror]

So obscene 😂

it's gross

 

[Boner_18]

It's not even a lucrative contract. Dude took a discount to not have to move cities. Wild.
