    Two observations about Ohtani. For all the warnings from his camp that he wants everything mum, there is a ton of chatter out there.

    And in some way I think he trying to keep it all private actually has the opposite effect.

    Anyhow, I'm ready for this all to end. Will someone (other than the Dodgers) sign him already?

    Boy oh boy… They better hope he can pitch. A lot of dough for a DH if he can’t.

    Jeff Passan: Shohei Ohtani just posted on Instagram that he’s signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers

    Shohei Ohtani's deal with the Dodgers is for 10 years and $700 million

    Shohei Ohtani's contract has significant deferrals that include most of his salary -- an idea, a source said, that was Ohtani's. In deferring the money, it reduces the cost of the competitive-balance-tax hit and will allow the Dodgers to build a better team around him

    The $700 million Shohei Ohtani will receive from the Los Angeles Dodgers is the largest guarantee in sports history

    which big time pitcher are they gunna grab?

    I can’t wait for Dave Roberts to pinch-hit a righty for Ohtani in a playoff game because an algorithm told him to.

    I’m going to explain why Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers will not equal $700 million in terms of MLB accounting or the present-day value of the deal.

    When money in a contract is deferred, the competitive-balance tax number — the luxury tax — is discounted. With a source saying a “majority” of Ohtani’s contract is deferred, the discount could be significant. Typically, a CBT number is the average annual value of a deal — in this case $70 million. But depending on the size and length of the deferrals, Ohtani’s CBT number is likelier to wind up in the $40-50 million-a-year range, an enormous benefit for the Dodgers.

    The deferrals also affect the net present value of the deal. There’s a rule of thumb across all walks of life: Money today is more valuable than money tomorrow, inflation being what it is. When you defer money, you’re taking less. The Dodgers are operating in an environment in which the prime rate is 8.5%. And with money today being so pricey, it lowers the present-day value of the deal by a significant margin.

    Regardless, in the end, Shohei Ohtani will be paid 700 million US dollars by the Dodgers. It’s an obscene amount of money. It’s just going to be seen as less by the league’s accounting — and will allow the Dodgers to add even more around Ohtani as they try to win a championship.

    If he equals the season JD had, many will say he was worth every penny.
    Almost 3/4 of a Billion dollars...
    I guess we've reached that moment when monkeys fly out of our assholes...
