Anyone saying he isn’t worth that doesn’t really know his reach outside of playing the game the dodgers will get back 10x times on him especially with the fan base the dodgers have.
yeah, just read an article that Shohei is expected to generate $500+ million in endorsements for the team. because of his reach, advertisers are going to pay over the years to the Dodgers. Just watching Angel games over the years, you saw so much Japanese advertising alone in the stadium. This doesn't include other revenue streams like ticket sales and merchandising. seems like an easy contract for the deep pocketed Dodgers to offer.
His fan base is loyal and consistently wants more. The amount of activity his new dog has created at the height of free agency is impressive. Marriage and children (per his goals) will be off the hook.
This signing really exposes fan bases outside of LA. Everyone was all “PaY tHe MaN” and then as soon as he signs this, all of a sudden it’s “an over pay” and “he’s not worth the money”. Don’t bitch because your team didn’t do enough to sign him. Also, his aav is NOT 70 million a year. It has been clearly stated multiple times that the money is deferred out.
I think this signing is just lame. The dodgers are already good. A team like the Giants could use him so much more. I’m disappointed. Wait 4 years until the dodgers pay 70 mil a year for someone batting .200 with 12 home runs.

He’s totally the goat in baseball. Michael Jordan in baseball
Not top 5. Not top 3. S.O. is number one. No question.
Also there’s the 40 million extra he gets each year in endorsements, in a ten year span that’s also and extra 400 million
Dave Roberts and shohei ohtani are from Japan.

I'm guessing the people who will REALLY regret this contract are the Dodger fans paying 40 dollars a beer at the game lol.

He will still be good in 4 years. He won't fall off until year 7.
