Ohtani has revolutionized how we think about contracts and the game of baseball. To this point, no player or team was this future-looking as Ohtani. Obviously no one will defer 97% like Ohtani but this opens possibilities for big and small market teams alike, especially a small market team who needs a veteran bat or arm for a year or two. A team w/ no cashflow is a contender and can sign a vet for little but pay that player in his mid to late thirties what he's worth for 5-10 yrs after the contract. The narrative will change once this sinks in and players and teams see the possibilities Jo.
This is only possible because Shohei Ohtank is extremely unselfish and doesn't prioritize money, unlike other western players that want all their money upfront.
@@DreWhite100 700 million 10 years later is way less than 700 million today, and he even does not charge Dodgers interest at all. If this is not selfish, then what is your definition of unselfishness?
This was Ohtani's idea. The Dodgers didn't abuse any rules or trick anyone. Any team can defer money and any player take their money at a later date. But there are not alot of players with the integrity that Ohtani has. Rules won't change but maybe some of the owners/ GMs will. The Dodgers will be fun to watch for a decade and beyond.
someone jokingly said to me that the Dodgers are gonna offer Ohtani a stake ownership in the Dodgers in lieu of some of that 68 million per year after the contract is over. you cant have ownership in the team and play for them so theyre gonna wait till he basically "retires"
We may be seeing superteams in baseball down the road if other players start taking contracts like this, and no limits on deferred money are implemented.
Your team could do it, but the players have to be on board. All the players want their money now unlike Shohei. Because his 700 mil will decrease in value after 10 years. With how crazy inflation is, it might be worth 550 mil in today's value by the time it's paid in full.
Well wasn't it Shohei's idea to begin with to make it that low? I mean there's absolutely no way the Dodgers' front office is gonna negotiate and ask the guy "oh yeah btw would you be willing to take 68 mil off a year and only take 2?"😂 That would be ludicrous. With all the money Shohei is making off endorsements, he'll probably be fine with money.
Genius move by the Dodgers, but rules should be put into place so that this kind of deal never happens again because this would kill the league or shrink it to only cities that can afford it. Congratulations Otani, but not good for baseball if things like this continue.
@@JoTalksYT True that. I wish I thought of it myself. If the Dodgers have started something new then the Blue Jays should definitely get in on it as soon as possible.
"How dare the Dodgers outsmart everyone" 😂 and it's completely LEGAL. Just say you're a hater cus your teams front office and the rest of MLB didn't think of it first or could ever get a player to agree on those terms. Dodgers playing chess not checkers, and they're just getting started 💙💪🏽
Don't forget that 680M is tax free at 68M a yr. Tax free cz ninja doesn't live in cali Huge deal Also 50M off the field a yr days y he deferred one of the reasons
I’ll tell you what NY better get ready to offer $400 or $500 million for him. Because Dodgers gonna match anything they throw and it don’t look good for ny. Ohtani was Yamamoto Japan teammate & that may be what does it 😂. NY the last place on earth need to be talking about unfair… wasn’t unfair when the Yankees was doing it. I got news make room for dodger nation up there in the Bronx because we coming to do roll call😂
I understand booby. You just said it in your video. It is the business side I'm talking about. NY Teams, players, and fans would never understand this, as the type of players these teams look for are based on Fantasy Baseball and not great players with being leaders in the club house. This was Ohtani's idea. Take less now -defer payment so his team can be more competitive in the upcoming years! You need to see if what they Did was legal? That is the LOL for me! You didn't know because you never thought of it with Brady in your face, doing it for years? No Situational Awareness. I guess I'll end where you ended with a LOL!
Close, but you're off by a bit. The effective contract was never $700M, instead it is structured more like a 10yr/$460M and that was always where Ohtani's value stood after his second TJ. Now, the Dodgers are paying $2M, but they would still have to put $44M in escrow for Ohtani, that means the Dodgers do not have an extra $44M sitting around. The $700M headline allows other MLB players to ask for slightly more than they would have, and that's more likely why Ohtani wanted the $700M headline. Every other player will be asking for more guaranteed money from the rich owners now, and good for the players.
😂😂😂😂😂 you’re just salty he got $700M He was gonna get it upfront or defer He wanted to help the team win that’s why he deferred It was his idea little bruh The headline is determined by the media. Not him He also deserves $700M for the money he can make for dodgers It’s not a charity
It’s a gamble plain and simple. Oh come and play for this amount of money but I’ll pay you a small amount but the big amount comes later. It’s going down a road that now every team will do. Has nothing to do with the game. Stupid Dodgers.
Ok first off I’m a fan of a mid market team let’s compare some things . Dodgers tv contract 350 million a year Guardians tv contact 40 million Now that the dodgers have found a loophole to competitive balance this makes this league a joke . F baseball I’m taking my money to the nfl and nba sorry baseball my true love I’ll still watch the documentary of your glory days Ken burns .
As a fan of the Dodgers, not our fault you're a fan of a mid-market team. Also, congrats, you learned how the world works. LA county has 10M people. Cleveland has 370k. Of course they're gonna make far more in TV deals and the like.
You can cry till the cows come home. It's perfectly legal, and why wouldn't big market teams think otherwise? LA county has 10M people, NYC is pretty comparable as well. Small market teams usually have 300k to 500k. Your opinion does not matter.
@greatnessdelton1381 Dang. No one asked you, but either what we believe don't matter. Because Ohtani ain't winning any rings with the Dodgers 💀. Cope. Dork
@@ShawnnyPerkins You need to ask yourself why you look you're about to start signing "I don't wanna live no more" like a 2000's emo kid. You probably hate yourself more than the Dodgers. Posing dramatic as fuck with your head down and to the side with earbuds blasting rock music or heavy metal, thinking you look cool as fuck, when you're not shit. 💀 Yeah, Ohtani ain't winning any rings because "ShawnnyPerkins" said so. Wow, that's crazy. Your real name is probably "Phillip" or "Steven", you NPC. Step out of your mother's basement, take a shower, brush your teeth, and put on some deoderant before you try and say anything else, you loser.

How do you guys feel about shohei ohtanis deferred contract? is it fair or is it super smart by the dodgers?
shohei and the dodgers are smarrt thats all
Plenty of players have deferred contracts. Ohtani has just took it to another level. His idea and helps the team out hugely. Genius.
@@Rob-eo7ku such a smart deal

@@samkim3923 I wonder how many teams will continue to try this way of thinking/doing I’m excited to see the future
It’s Shohei’s generous gift to his new team, nothing to do with Dodgers’ front office being smart.
i could see that too
This is only possible because Shohei Ohtank is extremely unselfish and doesn't prioritize money, unlike other western players that want all their money upfront.
Yea he wants to win it’s obviously next year is going to be exciting
@@JoTalksYT it helps that he makes 45m off the field and that's about to go up
@@user-dr2ym5jr7l yeah ohtani said that he makes alot of money off court he was the one that brought the idea
Unselfish?? The man will still get 700 million dollars. I wish I was unselfish!!
@@DreWhite100 700 million 10 years later is way less than 700 million today, and he even does not charge Dodgers interest at all. If this is not selfish, then what is your definition of unselfishness?

Ya very smart on his end! its crazy they made it work!
someone jokingly said to me that the Dodgers are gonna offer Ohtani a stake ownership in the Dodgers in lieu of some of that 68 million per year after the contract is over. you cant have ownership in the team and play for them so theyre gonna wait till he basically "retires"
It would be so smart. It literally seems like that’s going to be the case
Nice point of view!
They had to make room to get Yamamoto 🔥🔥
He is losing a lot of money for doing this. Obviously it is still an insane amount he'll be getting but not a lot of people are willing to do that.
MR. OHTANI JUST BUILT DIFFERENT THAN ALL OF US.....
Dodgers just a lucky team have Shohei, Give him STATUE already at Dodgers stadium
Shohei really wants to win multiple rings with the dodgers man happy for them
We may be seeing superteams in baseball down the road if other players start taking contracts like this, and no limits on deferred money are implemented.
like nba like is what im thinking too
insane deal man i wisb my team would do that
facts

Huge deal
Also 50M off the field a yr days y he deferred one of the reasons
ya totally! i forgot to mention when he gets that 680 mil he'll prob be in japan

It’s not about resetting the market it’s if you want to pay someone 70 million a year it should go against your luxury tax at 70 million . You clowns
