No ****in way that's real
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

70 mil per year puts him 23M more than the 2nd highest paid player …
ESPN just reported its real

And he won't pitch for at least a year, they will pay him 70 million dollars next year to be a DH lol
A fool and their money……
$70m a year aav is almost 30% of the first luxury tax level. Insane to give that much to one player
Assuming he plays all 162 regular season games, that is $432,099 per game

Dodgers pay Shohei 700 mil for 10 years
And we can't afford to extend Bregman or Tucker

Maybe it's 700 million yen

That also makes Shohei more money a year than the entire As roster by nearly 10 million lol
Guess he didn't realize the other LA team doesn't win either without a global pandemic creating special circumstances for them
Also after seeing the news I imediately forced my son outside to play catch and do some soft toss. He's getting that 800 million contract
He's going to be making $48,000 per inning g
How are they going to build a team around him without going way over the highest luxury tax threshold ever year?
Too bad it isn't a team MLB would create a higher more punitive tax level for
Most of the salary apparently will be deferred
What if he isn't able to come back as well from his 2nd TJ? That wouldn't be hilarious at all.
I don't think it matters how much is deferred since they use AAV to calculate luxury tax.PrestigeWorldwideAg12 said:

It will matter. Just like it matters that we have Greinke's $12mm for this year on it.

They aren't, and I thank them for it.
So the story of him souring on LA because they leaked info of interest was bull***** Who could've guessed that.
Will $700 million be enough to get out of the first round? I guess we'll see.
Wow. That's a lot of money, even for LA.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
Wonder how this will affect the decision reported out of Canada this week that Rogers Sportsnet wasn't planning to reup its extremely expensive contract to broadcast NHL games in favor of focusing on the Blue Jays instead.
10 million a year over the next best offer prediction covers a lot of hurt feelings.
The dodgers getting eliminated by a 84 win team is going to just hit different next year

I knew Ohtani would go $500MM or more, but I didn't even think $700MM was in the cards. Holy moly!
So how do we get one those money trees the Dodgers have?
Ohtani signs with dodgers 10 years $700M. He will pay 37% federal tax 13.3% CA tax 2.35% Medicare & Medicare surcharge and 1.1% SDI

The contract has significant deferrals. He will pay approximately 53.75% in federal State and payroll taxes.
lol that's 10 years of Jimbo buyouts
That's an awfully expensive DH.
And sadly the cost of doing business for everyone just went up as agents will use that contract to work from as a standard.

I will say the same thing I said last year. It is going to get absurd and they are going to price everyone out of being able to go to games with these contracts.Mathguy64 said:

So does California still charge him on games he plays in places like Texas? And then when he plays in states with a tax, does he get hit by both?
