@@chriskelly6559 bet you’ve been laughing at us tho when we lose in the playoffs or calling the ‘20 season Mickey Mouse. Dodgers simply have responded to all the shit y’all have been talking. Now it’s not fair LMFAOOOOOOO please cry more for us, soft ass fan bases😹😹😹
They're not just paying for Shohei as a pitcher and Shohei as a hitter. They're also paying for the marketability of Shohei the brand. He can bring in a ton of revenue for the Dodgers owners.
Dodgers are lucky to have Ohtani bec.of his dedications & a very discipline guy when it comes to his work ethics and his concentration what to do best & his life style.The best🎉〜
I love that the Dodger players are excited about Ohtani coming to the team. I am so happy that Walker Buehler will be back this year too. Hey Walker, I know you will be busy with the new baby (CONGRATS!) and pitching again, but can you please tell us what Ohtani's dogs' name is when you find out? I am taking a guess that it is Mookie.
i wonder if Walker is going to Korea with the team. Also everyone talks about the dangerous lineup of the first 3 but Walker, Bobby and Shohei could potentially be as dangerous
4 hall of gamers means nothing: (I know this might appear wild but think about it) Mets had Scherzer (1st ballot) Verlander (first ballot) lindor (comfortably on pace for 1st ballot) and Pete Alonso (on pace for 500+ HRs which all non -steroid linked members of are HOFers) on their roster last season and they were awful. Look at the Angels- would adding one more healthy impact bat over the last 3 seasons have helped them win? Probably not
The home opener for the blue Jay's, the tickets for cheap sections skyrocketed from like 50 to 250+ when it was thought he was signing with them. That's an insane increase. He's going to do that for the dodgers for years to come.
Soto is not going to put NY into the World Series. He was on a very talented San Diego team and that didn’t work out so well. He’s a good player but not earth shattering
Interesting. I'm puzzled by Buehler saying he didn't see Ohtani pitch in person. I can think of at least one game this year when Ohtani started against the Dodgers and pitched really well though he ended up losing when the Angels didn't give any run support. Maybe Buehler was not there for that game.
90’s Braves had four first ballot hall of famers with Glavine, Maddux, Smoltz, and Chipper. I don’t believe there have been any other teams with four first ballot hall of famers playing on the same team.
You tweeted 6-9 who gives a s**t?? well, shame on you. Every fanbase of every team DO give a lot more than that about who's 6-9. It's not only disrepectful to those players but also to the fanbase in turn. You don't win games only with the 1-5 part of the lineup. If your phrase is starting with "no disrespect" it's going to be disrespectful
Let’s be real here and why baseball sucks ! The NFL had a salary cap of $37 million, and through revenue sharing it guaranteed revenue of $38 million. That means if teams made $0 dollars in tickets, merchandise, etc. They’d still be able to make payroll (technically they have other expenses, but that isn’t the point). This ensures that every team can compete for the best talent. The Cincinnati Bengals are by no means a big market team, but they just signed Joe Burrow to the largest contract in NFL history. Could you imagine the Reds or the Guardians signing someone to largest contract in MLB history? It’d be preposterous. That revenue sharing is the key. The NFL doesn’t have local tv deals like MLB does, they negotiate for the entire league and ensure consistency in the broadcasts. Now this isn’t to say that I only want national broadcasts on ESPN or whatnot. But, what if instead of 30 teams negotiating 30 contracts with RSN’s Major League Baseball negotiated contracts with networks, let’s say FOX and ABC for the AL and NL, and then worked out arrangements for every teams games to be shown each night. All of the broadcast revenue goes to the league and then is divided evenly amongst the 30 MLB teams. Then the teams can keep all of their money from ticket sales, merchandise, concessions, etc. This would continue to leave an incentive for performance to ensure attendance stays up, but also makes sure that every team has enough money to operate. A salary cap could be put in place if you’d prefer. I’m not claiming it’s a perfect system, I’m merely one person and couldn’t possibly devise a perfect revenue sharing plan for a multi-billion dollar industry on my own, but it feels a hell of a lot better than what we have today.
It's not a Tommy John surgery. Timmy John surgery replaces the entire tendon with a useless one from the hand. Ohtani got a repair done. Nothing was replaced for this recent surgery.
We know how the angel's underpaid shohei, it's not right how they treat the player of shohei's caliber is recieving a low caliber of a player's should receive??? Becoming a MVP????? Then giving a contract while he is the type of babe Ruth?????? Show the respect, especially becoming a 2x MVP???? Commmmon' he's not a reserve type of guy, a generational talent must have a hefty type of contract he deserves!!!!!!!!!!! Grats to shohei!!!! Peace out!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Shohei only cares about baseball and winning, he doesn't care $. Shohei never likes wear gold chains or pay $ for luxuries. All clothes, watches he wear, or cars or many goods he uses all from his sponsors. He sometimes did buy cars, watches, or dogs' wears but all from his sponsors brands though he bought with his own money. So eventually he made great PR for his sponsors since Shohei's fans soon bought them all immediately( many out soon) . He deferred 680m. Actually he wanted to defer all $ but his agent said he couldn't play for free 😂. So he decided to have the biggest deferral of 97% as much MLB allowed. That's how the 2m x 10yrs came from and Shohei charged NO interest rate because he made probably 50~60m endorsement this yr (he made 40mUS$ endorsement & only received 30m salary from Angels in 2023). Shohei's 700m contract with 680m deferral was solely Shohei's idea, he also proposed to all other teams. Giants & Jays accepted Shohei's proposal but Angels refused. By the way talking about facing Soto, Shohei struck him out 2 times in a start. Before the game Soto was saying he is going to hit HR from Shohei, yet Shohei ended up K him. So other Dodgers teammates can ask Shohei when facing Yankees because Shohei also hit many HR from Yankees' pitchers including Cole. Lastly, Shohei is Never a shy person, he is the expert or genius in human communications. Shohei is a very funny, lovely, and kind person. He is always smiling, laughing, joking around, and sometimes mimicking some players. And he can be a mischievous boy too when you are out of guard. Shohei is never shy to anyone because everyone just likes him so much and loves to hang around and talk to Shohei in the drugout or on the field, including all opponent teams' and own teams' managers, players, staffs, bat boys, empires, and fans. Shohei is only very careful while talking to media which were tracing after him for over 13 yrs (there are about 350~400 media traced Shohei in Japan whenever he came back and now media over 70+ from Japan & 30+ from Korea, Taiwan, Latin America, other countries such as EU, Australia, Canada are tracing Shohei in Arizona camp.
The Dodgers used to develop their players. Now they just buy up everyone else's stars. Really bad to do that. They're going to have major problems in the future.
Your comment screams- “I don’t watch the Dodgers and I just want to be loud and wrong about my opinion” Dodgers don’t commit long term contracts very often. Only generational type talent gets signed. Mookie/Shohei are the only examples. Dodgers have lost out on tons of talent they traded for because they don’t want 10+year contracts for every Free agent they sign. They lost out on Greinke/Machado/Seager/Scherzer/Darvish etc. So many examples to see that is not how they operate with this team but people love to talk out of their ass about things they know nothing about.
shohei is not interested in buying things. he just wants to play and win.
Stacking an already stacked deck just to win? Hope the Dodgers suck.
6 years of his career wasted in regards to winning. He gave the Angels the chance to build around him. Now he’s on a team that will.

Angels made *soooo* much money the last couple years from the Japanese market. Angel stadium was decked out in Japanese ads and sponsorships.
True and Dodger ticket prices just tripled!
And Ohtani will also be a huge recruiting factor for good players out of Japan.
Well said
Hideo Nomo is also a true hero for Dodgers fan!!
Dodgers are lucky to have Ohtani bec.of his dedications & a very discipline guy when it comes to his work ethics and his concentration what to do best & his life style.The best🎉〜
Significantly deferred with no opt outs. Incredible
His idea to help the team. Go Ohtani!
Hope you have a great year Walker, and that you are a Dodger for a long time. Love your competitive spirit.
Can’t wait to watch you and Shohei play 🔥
I love that the Dodger players are excited about Ohtani coming to the team. I am so happy that Walker Buehler will be back this year too.

Sho dog's name Dekopin in Japanese.. Decoy in America..❤❤❤
SHOHEI OHTANI💙💙💙
Let’s Go Dodgers! Let’s Go Dodgers! Let’s Go Dodgers !! Can’t wait to see him in Dodger Blue !!⚾️⚾️🧢🧢💙💙💙
i wonder if Walker is going to Korea with the team. Also everyone talks about the dangerous lineup of the first 3 but Walker, Bobby and Shohei could potentially be as dangerous
Who's Bobby?
@@Manuel-so7mz Bobby Miller
4 hall of gamers means nothing: (I know this might appear wild but think about it) Mets had Scherzer (1st ballot) Verlander (first ballot) lindor (comfortably on pace for 1st ballot) and Pete Alonso (on pace for 500+ HRs which all non -steroid linked members of are HOFers) on their roster last season and they were awful. Look at the Angels- would adding one more healthy impact bat over the last 3 seasons have helped them win? Probably not
Dodgers will recoup any cost by revenue generation by having Ohtani and they will likely do it within the first year or two.
I think this is a statement a lot of fans don't really think of. They see $700 million and initially think we're screwed.
The home opener for the blue Jay's, the tickets for cheap sections skyrocketed from like 50 to 250+ when it was thought he was signing with them. That's an insane increase. He's going to do that for the dodgers for years to come.
Dodgers is not paying Shohei $70M a year. The contract is all backend heavy so he'll get the most of it later in his playing career.
He is wise👍
Yeah, so he doesn't blow it all the next 10 years, haha...
More than half of it goes to California and city! Congrats to them!!
What's crazy is that the Dodgers payroll still isn't the biggest in the league.
Hmmmm... it's still his money whether now or later. Let's say he deferred $20m .. I'm sure $50m/year is still plenty. LOL
I love walker
Soto is not going to put NY into the World Series. He was on a very talented San Diego team and that didn’t work out so well. He’s a good player but not earth shattering
Adding Shohei AND getting Buehler back on the mound? Legggo.
Killin me that we gotta wait till 2025 tho lol.
AND don’t have to watch Lance Lynn pitch for the dodgers again
Hello, 53 is Don Drysdale
Interesting. I'm puzzled by Buehler saying he didn't see Ohtani pitch in person. I can think of at least one game this year when Ohtani started against the Dodgers and pitched really well though he ended up losing when the Angels didn't give any run support.

Kelly can't wear 53...that's Drysdale's 🤦
Number is retired. Buehler should look up in left field where all the retired numbers are.
53 is a retired number for the Dodgers. Big "D" Don Drysdale 1956-69.
1955 Brooklyn Dodgers: Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella, Duke Snider, Gil Hodges & rookie Sandy Koufax
2022 LA Dodgers (!): Kershaw, Pujols, Scherzer, Betts
Walker Butane Buehler! Let’s goooooooo!!!1!
700mil McChickens? Not anymore bro. They're like $3-4 each now.
Amazing
Buehler, Korean fans really want to see you.
Please be healthy
Bro I was in the toilet and I saw shams.. then I yelled twice
Buehler goes19-3 this year.⚾⚾⚾
Dang!! 19-3??
90’s Braves had four first ballot hall of famers with Glavine, Maddux, Smoltz, and Chipper. I don’t believe there have been any other teams with four first ballot hall of famers playing on the same team.
still were not better than the yanks..
How many chips did they get ?
Yamamoto is next
Ohtani needs to recruit him to the Dodgers
How dare you ask Walker for the definition of BBoPIn around town 🤣
Walker’s like 70M?!? I’m gonna take some swings in the cage.
LOL
and what is bbob ?
Bouncing around.
Big bad orangutan ⚾️

Dodgers will market the shit out of Ohtani. Made 40m for Angels will easily make 50m from marketing for dodgers
Easy anwer to that question Walker. Just need to hit 40HRs next year too 😉

Look at ohtani endorsements. He doesn't need to buy anything bougie besides a Brentwood home
Shohei’s TJ surgery has lasted. The new TJ surgery is to another location on his elbow..
It's not a Tommy John surgery. Timmy John surgery replaces the entire tendon with a useless one from the hand. Ohtani got a repair done. Nothing was replaced for this recent surgery.
뷸러야 보고싶다.
at the end of the day it’s about money, Shohei Ohtani will bring lots of money to LA and the Dodgers and MLB……

Walker is just a dude lol. Awesome to have this kind of discourse with a All Star level player

Love me some Ohtani, disappointed to see JD go.
Buehler probably won't be on the team when Ohtani goes back to pitching in 2025
Walker sounds salty and jealous. He doesn't sound all that happy that he will be a teammate to a future unanimous Hall of Fame inductee.
The Dodgers used to develop their players. Now they just buy up everyone else's stars. Really bad to do that. They're going to have major problems in the future.

I think Shohei's dogs mame is Dodger because he's a dog..get it? Dodger Dog
貴方達がグダグタ言う前に日本の高校野球を見なさい‼️

i feel bad for walker i dont think he'll be a dodger for much longer..
