Right. Eisen doesn't seem to realize that Ohtani is the one who presented this deal to the Dodgers and possibly other teams he negotiated with. The Dodgers didn't present this in their offer. Ohtani asked if they would go for this deal so that he could give the team a chance to sign other players this year and beyond. Talk about generosity and different priorities than money money money. Ohtani may get most of the money in 10-20 years from now, but it won't be worth as much after inflation and other factors depreciate the value.

I do my best writing in English. The Dodgers scouts visited and contacted Shohei three times from his high school to the Nippon Ham Fighters era. Did you see his Mandara Chart? He wrote " At 24 years old: Win the World Championship @ Dodgers" when he was in high school. National League was not a DH system at the time he landed. Now it's a time for both Shohei and the Dodgers to have mutual affection. Shohei finally reworded their"Tribute to the Sanko" old Chinese proverb.

@mj7000 6 месяцев назад

Shohei Otani is no fool. Perhaps in 10 years, when hyperinflation hits and the current value of money is as good as scrap paper, Ohtani may even be ready for it. It can be said that this is a contract that does not count on deferred payment. It is definitely a contract that he could lose money on. It is not a contract that other players can make. That is how much he craves winning. Winning is more important than money. In a good way, Shohei Ohtani is crazy. To add, Shohei Ohtani's parents and family members each continue to work. No one in the family is dependent on Shohei Ohtani, who earns a lot of money. When Otani offered to pay for the renovation of his parents' home, they refused. The Japanese family's financially independent way of life has certainly had a great influence on Shohei Otani's way of life.

The Dodgers are building a super team the likes of which has never been seen in baseball, maybe any pro sport ever. They're already in talks to get Yamamoto, Glasnow, Hader, and some are even speculating Arozarena will go to the Dodgers. Dark days ahead for us Giants fans.

@jobunaga4178 6 месяцев назад

this was done for income tax purposes. by structuring his compensation this way, ohtani will effectively side step california's 13.3% income tax so long as he's not in california when he starts getting his deferred payments. that's a solid $90M savings if he "retires" in texas or florida or washington.

I hate to ask this question, because it is dark af: what happens if he dies at any point during or before these payouts? If before, does that mean the Dodgers don't have to pay that $680 million? He doesn't have a wife or kids, so how does that work? This all makes me so uncomfortable, that I even thought that question makes me uncomfortable.

Exactly this. Crazy situation

@Zoe-vf8bo 6 месяцев назад

God forbid something happens to him, his family will get the money. Regardless of what happens, the Dodgers have to pay up the money. He's guaranteed that $680M as it's an ironclad contract. That’s been confirmed. His family will inherit his assets. Essentially, he has set up himself and his family for life.

@D-V-C-N 6 месяцев назад

This exact scenario is clearly defined in the contract and would depend on the terms of the agreement. Scenarios like that are exactly why in the nfl you commonly hear the term “guaranteed money” thrown around and why players value it often times above the actual gross amount of the contract. Injury, death, disaster or any scenario you can imagine they are still guaranteed their money. If he’s dead then his estate would still be owed the money. Any person if his status has an estate usually a living trust that will handle their finances in th event of death.

You’re acting like he isn’t getting money somewhere else. If Ohtani wasn’t getting any endorsement money and just making $200,000k for a couple of years, then your comment makes sense. But he’s easily been getting $20 million in his bank account from other sources. Think about it! Obviously he’s smart. He knows he’s getting paid somewhere else where he can afford to just be paid 200k by the team.

For all the people who said Ohtani going to LA is good for the game. His contract is AWFUL for the game and opens a Pandora's Box of competitive imbalance and a big middle finger to the small markets of the league.

@itsukiwakai 6 месяцев назад

How's that competitive imbalance if everybody does the same thing? Also, don't let the 700mil number blind you, it was never real, the contract in present value worth just 460mil, its not a ridiculous unaffordable number for other teams, not to mention CBT did take into account the 46mil AAV, instead of just 2mil. Get your number right and the contract is just fine.

@prophetofgreed 6 месяцев назад

@@itsukiwakai because it circumvents the cap and luxury tax system. In a way only a big market team can afford to operate.

@itsukiwakai 6 месяцев назад

@@prophetofgreed It didn't, if deferral would be banned, then 700mil contract would not exist at all, it would just be a solid 460mil contract, therefore no difference whether or not deferral is allowed. All that's matter is the present value of a contract which luxury tax system has already taken care of, resulting in 46mil CBT hit on LAD every year. The only advantage of deferral that I can think of is easing the pressure of actual payroll, but I think it benefits all teams instead of just big market team.

@tjbaden 6 месяцев назад

The Dodgers ownership is hoping for several World Series rings over the next 10 years, and when it comes time to pay Ohtani, they'll sell the team and the next ownership group will hopefully NOT turn their payroll into the A's. My gut feeling is this contract might push owners to finally create a salary cap for MLB so that this won't happen again.

I'm curious how you can use this to avoid taxes. Lets ignore the silly MLB deferment rules, it seems suspect to say "well I'm not getting this money until after I leave" surely having a signed contract for a job over a set period of time for a certain amount doesn't allow you just tell your boss "yo, hold that last check for a few months while I move to another state". If I'm a contractor, and living in tax free Florida but I have a job building a house in California I'll be taxed on what I make for that whole job California even if the last 50% of my check doesn't get paid until I leave the state.
