    Most of Ohtani income is within the Japan. He's making ton of cash with Japan advertisers hence why he's is not worried about his Dodgers salary maneuver.

      Deferred payment can save him a lot of Tax from California.
      10 yrs later, he can move back to Japan or other state where no state tax required.

      @@marquisewright7229 the issue is for small market teams, especially when all teams started using Analytics. Billy Beane really should never have opened his mouth. So they're at a competitive disadvantage since they don't have the resources that richer big market teams have. Because these teams basically have zero chances of ever winning a world series, their fan bases have slowly stopped watching games or going to games. Which means even less money for these smaller markets. It's basically a death cycle.

      @@marquisewright7229 I haven't seen any projections, but I doubt it. What is the net dollar pickup from Ohtani? Nowhere near $1b, unless the entire world buys an Ohtani jersey. Also, will there be a shine if they don't win two or three WS titles? No. One is an abject failure. Moreover, if he is injured/out, it's a monster financial loss. Truth is, we'll never know, although Forbes and others will try. Projections are like weather forecasts. I wouldn't have much faith more than a short time out.

    I wonder how the Dodgers will cope with having so much money on the books after the retirements of Mookie and Ohtani. They better have a solid team just for financial advisory.

    • @mmphillips04ify

      The contracts are held in escrow, so the money that isn’t being paid out is being invested into bonds, so that it actually obtains interest over time, so even if it’s on their books, they get to pocket the interest on top of other merchandise sales, they will be okay, the rich teams stay rich, with ohtani, if they invest right they could actually double the value of the contract and keep the profit. They make 5% interest a year, and the revenue generated by ohtani alone they should be good. By the time ohtani is done with his career the dodgers should be green on the books so they won’t mind paying out the rest. They don’t have to invest in bonds but they are making money over the 20 years of obtains contracts

    Other than Babe Ruth there hasn't been this type disparity between the top highest paid player and second highest. I think Soto will close that gap this year.

    A lot of players actually don't make as much being in big cities. Salaries are the highest taxed source of income compared to other forms of income. Blame the government for creating this mess. That's why so many big bosses make a lot more because they don't have a salary that is taxed as much.

    Ohtani has a WS championship. Judge has been Choke-tober. Dont ever say Judge is better then Ohtani. Ohtani does so much more the Judge. Yep! Rubbing it in to all those Yankee fans who was laughing and calling Ohtani names when he got hurt. Yankees fans are losers because they were cheering for those two idiots who tried to break Betts wrist.
