Shohei Ohtani Signs MEGA Deal With Los Angeles Dodgers || Baseball Is Dead Emergency Podcast 

Idk he sounds the same to me 😂

Sounds like every angel fans 😂

They are working his contract so he isn’t paid all upfront so they can sign players

*LAD…..get it right

Ohtani won't play in the games. Ohtani agent said Ohtani start after arm surgery is probably around late April/early March

@@LongieR8ersorry old habit 😂

*I thought he had it for Yamamoto?*

Um you got Kevin gausman ,ryu, etc to sign. STFU

I don’t believe that! Dodgers already prepared that because they know HOW TO MARKET this guy and can make tons of money also off the field. He is a global phenomenon with a rich market in Asia apart from Japan. He also garners international attention from even non baseball countries in Europe!

Fellow Canadian here. Players don't like to play here because they like to keep most of their salary, just like in every sport. I don't think Shohei wanted to pay $20M a year in taxes for an extra 4 hours on a flight to Tokyo.

​@bamesbamesbames at least an pay in us an Canada sports should fix this issue an prorated contracts It would be the one thing smaller in Texas

@@bamesbamesbames As difficult as it may seem Shohei is from another planet. He is a baseball monk, doesn’t drink, go out an party, don’t buy expensive mansions or cars or jewelry (he doesn’t even like to drive more than neccesary, he rents a house for 30K which is low for a professional, he didn’t even have an iPhone when he won the MVP first time) so taxes he doesn’t really care. Rogers Com can pay and did match. What he loved was the RC Dome which reminded him of Sapporo dome where he used to play and he probably liked the serenity of the Canadian atmosphere. But he has a time window as a high performing athlete and he came to fulfill his dream and the clock is ticking, he felt Dodgers had the most chance to get him where he wanted to be, World Series champion. Just know, CAA and Ohtani never played with Jays. It’s just not in Ohtani and CAA respects that to honor their relationship.

I'm convinced. I said that the entire time. I'm like it sounds like he was on his way to Toronto. Then the dodgers called and said hold up here's 700 Mill. Period

@@Michael-tj5bkhe was never on a flight to toronto, it was confirmed by multiple reporters he was at his home in SoCal. Matter of fact, I would say the plane rumors hurt the Blue Jays chances if anything, not because the it made the dodgers give a higher offer, but the whole overblown publicity was exactly the kind of thing it sounded like Ohtani was trying to avoid. But let’s be real: no team had a chance at Ohtani it was always the dodgers. It was false hope if you thought so.

​@@Michael-tj5bkThe GM of the Giants called Nez about that Toronto flight to confirm if he was there so I'm pretty sure the Bluejays did the same because they're not dumb. It was just the media who got played and now the Bluejay fans are blaming Shohei's agency for such fake news.

Dodgers are an international brand now. It’s a billionaires long game.

And added 150 million more fans internationally. That equates to lots of money. JD Martinez could not even get 1/10th of that.

そうかな？日本からだけの物販や広告収入だけでも＄42Mは軽く超えるから残りの＄28MでJudge とScherzerを獲得できたと考えれば超バーゲンセールにしか見えないけど・・

What is stopping Oakland from having a higher payroll

@@mikevickilovedogs Yep, 5th richest owner in baseball
