What team will sign Shohei Ohtani?

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Thank goodness it wasn't the Cubs. What a terrible contract. Just take $350MM of that and burn it in a barrel right now.

10 year contract worth 70 million holy shit

700,000 mil......thats a big jump over the previous biggest contract.....

Ohtani wll be on the wrong side of 30 halfway through the first season of that contract.

Well there you go, Dodgers buy another MVP. I wonder if they get bounced in the playoffs again they will fire Roberts or keep buying MVPs until they win a World Series.

They just handed out two mega contracts to Betts and Turer. So they had to defer a lot of Ohtani's salary. So they will be paying him for 20(?) years for maybe 3 seasons of peak performance.

i agree he may be in the 40 mill range but 70 mill?....not worth it....

That's the dilemma of signing these superstars. The goal is to win a World Series.

Ohtani got an extra $200MM to hit an extra HR every 10 games compared to his possible replacement. Well that roughly translates to one extra HR every 2 playoff series.

That's not going to put a team over the top.

well the only thing for certain right now is.....J.D. Martinez has just lost his job....

He will definitely get paid somewhere. He had a fine 2023 season.

We are looking from the outside. Inside, mgt is seeing $$$ filling Chavez Ravine. It's a great move.

However... let's see some clutch from Dodgerville.

It was very satisfying to watch the D-backs blow them out this year in their home park.

10 years, $700 Million and he has maybe 2 more years of pitching and then he's a DH. That's a whole lotta cheddar for a DH.

Exactly. How much more "extra" revenue can he generate? The word is that he generated $70MM "extra" revenue per year, for the Angels. But there is more room to expand revenue for the lowly Angels than there is for the Dodgers.
