That's unreal. Just completely beyond comprehension.

And he can't even pitch next season. I just cannot understand this one at all.

They have to figure that the marketing side of it will pay for itself. Because lord, how can that deal possibly work out?

Dodgers still won't win the WS

Still done before Bonilla's deal.

It's not a financially prudent deal from a $/WAR perspective, even though that stat overly inflates the value of a win, but goddamn, I respect the balls to even ask for that.

Hans Gruber could have robbed Ohtani and gotten 10 percent more than the value of the bearer bonds at Nakatomi Plaza.

****ing amazing. I hope John McClane is his agent.

The plucky Dodgers and Yankees making huge moves in hopes of adding to the trophy case is just heartwarming…God you gotta love baseball.

start working on those pass rush moves ��

Imagine being able to do both at an All-Pro level.

Guy is insane.

Ridiculous

Billy, this is Shohei Ohtani. With his combination of pitching and hitting acumen, he is the most unique player in a century of baseball. By all metrics, he should be getting $45 million per year. We can get him for $70,000,000

Ohtani’s deal with the Dodgers includes “unprecedented deferrals” - the majority of his salary - which was his idea, according to a source. He wanted the team to have flexibility to be as competitive as possible. It’s believed to be the largest contract in sports history.

Ohtani about to be ruined when Weimar-style hyperinflation forces him to load his entire contract in a wheelbarrow to get a loaf of bread.

What the hell is the purpose of the luxury tax if teams can just skirt around it like that?
