That’s a lot of yen

Shohei Ohtani joining Dodgers on 10-year, $700M contract

Hear this constantly on our news and commentators explaining the big money stuff. I tune out, don't care about much of this stuff anymore and the price tags.

He's going to have to struggle along on just $2 million a year plus millions from endorsements for a while

>>>Ohtani agreed to defer all but $2 million of his annual salary — $68 million of his $70 million per year — until after the completion of the contract. The deferred money is to be paid out without interest from 2034 to 2043.<<<

It's a staggering amount. I heard that the SF Giants offered to match that, unsuccessfully. Predictions had been $500 mil to $600 mil.

Ohtani will be roughing it for some time at $2 mil, probably have to live on stuff like PB & J.

Speaking of Japanese millionaires being paid to throw or hit a ball, the Dodgers have also given a 12yr/$325mil deal to a pitcher who hasn’t thrown one MLB pitch yet.
