Last night on TV Asahi News Station, former WBC manager Kuriyama said that Ohtani would only receive $3 to $4 million a year, with the rest coming after the 11th year.
I'm just so incredibly happy for the Dodgers and Ohtani. He's already proving he wants the Dodgers to win, not just make all that money. Let's GOOOOOOO!!!
I feel like we as dodgers fans are living in a dream state. Like this doesn’t feel real. Shohei is already showing more than anyone he’s ready to F crap up. Man is on a mission. I am getting teary eyed knowing this guy’s willingness and commitment to ensure he and the Dodgers have a chance to win.
Wow, the way Shohei has chosen to structure his contract, Shohei is going to be considered the greatest Dodger of all time in the eyes of the Dodger fans !
So, he rewards the Dodgers for the contract, he elevates Dodgers and his chances to win, he fixes the Media’s and fan’s news issues, and he shows players and owners how to win, if you say you really want to.
The man is NOT selfish !!! period !!! - anyone else would want the cash now this year & every year & buy their first 25 million mansion & 1/2 dozen Lambo's / Farrari's / Range rovers + party all night - who cares about other teammates. as long it's me me me. Shohei is smart to know he need other's Super Stars to win World Series - it's a Team effort not one & if he achieves his goal the $$$ will follow even more ! for everyone in the team/owners.
I'm sure Shohei is making more than enough to live however he wants with the massive endorsements he's doing and is in fact doing a tax deferral to where ever he chooses to live in the future. Plus I'm thinking Shohei isn't the type of person to have all those exotic fancy cars just to show off!
He offered to rebuild his parent's house and they said no. His parents fixed their current house and refused any support and told him to save money. I don't think Shohei or his family cares about losing tons of money due to inflation with this deferral contract.
@@DW-op7ly If that was meant to crap on Shohei, you failed.......miserably!!!!!!!! Meanwhile you still live in your Mamas basement and troll the internet!
This is why ShoTime is the Unicorn 🦄, the best on the field and off!!! There’s no one in this world with his talent would take 2mil a year. He’s building his own team, the Dream Team!!! He did say all he care about is winning and he’s been a winner his whole life!!!! What does all them Dodger fans say now who said he’s not worth 70mil!!! Never underestimate the Unicorn 🦄!!! He’s here to bring WS to LA Blue!!!!
Mets fan here but really exicted to see what the Dodgers do now and moving forward. This puts them in a perfect spot to get Yamamoto now. wouldnt shock me to see the Dodgers implement a 6 man rotation moving forward. Bring back Kershaw and trade for Glasnow and I feel like thats a perfect 6 man rotation, especially with Buehler coming back from TJ too. Ace - Buehler 2 - Glasnow 3- Yamamoto 4 - Kershaw 5- Miller 6 - Sheehan/Pepiot That's a lethal rotation and then next year you bring back one of Glasnow or Buehler, Shohei is pitching again and no doubt in my mind if Sasaki is coming over he'll be a Dodger too.
There will never be another Ohtani again. He is so selfless. Dodgers need to find a way to free his best friend, Mike Trout from the Angels prison and bring him to play with him.
@@jayreyes4907 Future California Governors just might hold him hostage to pay all them taxes...or pass legislation to the effect that if you earn money in the state of California, you will be responsible for income earned in California no matter your future residence!
@@zhoubaidinh403Dodgers can set up an office in Dallas or Miami and pay him out if that. California and the dollar will probably have collapsed by the time his ten years is up anyway.
Shohei is the man...... what a team player. And he can move to Japan when he retires, and say "Yo... Newsom.... come and get it!" (and yeah, I'm aware Newsom will not be Gov then.....) God I hope not.
Has nothing to do with smart. Ohtani was “willing” to do this. How many superstars are offered this and say hell no show me da money. Ohtani is serious about winning a World Series. Other teams and fans gonna be crying. 😂🤣. It’s not fair!! MLB will probably change the rules and say only half can be deferred at most.
Ohtani was always not about the money , just think his pay he just pass it to mom 😂 she then gives him a few thousand per month 😅 ( yes it's japanese culture the women controls the money he's not married so mom holds the money ) . There's tons of women drooling at Ohtani right now 😂 . 2 million per year is crazy and dodgers side step those tax I'm sure MLB is probably jumping up in anger 😂😂😂
One quick correction! The difference in Net Present Value between getting $700 million over 10 years and structuring it the way Ohtani has chosen to is approximately $100 million (not the $240 number I mentioned in the video!). Had a finance friend correct me :)
guys never worry about the money the dodgers have a TV deal for 25 years worth 7 billion... they already have the total amount ohtani is owed... it's a non issue
Let's not forget inflation. Currently it's like 6% a year so in 10 year time it's gonna eat the absolute value by 80%. Unless it has some clause about current rates adjustment.
So does this mean the Dodgers were under the 2023 luxury tax? Because if this is true then they should be saving 10-15 million a year with all the deferrals Mookie and Freeman get per year. Which means their luxury tax penalties will be reset to year 1. Which is a 15% tax rather than 50%
And it happened for one reason. Honor. The Japanese aren't Americans. Some things are more important. He wants to win and wants he best for all concerned. He lives a life of integrity and it shows. He's not a freaking LIV golfer or some arrogant American athlete equating money to "respect." Love everything about this man. Can't wait to see him every night.
I'll just put this out there that if Yamamoto is concerned about the Japanese media scrum that will surround him, he should sign with the Dodgers because Ohtani would draw a lot of attention away from him. btw, why do at least some Japanese players not want to be on a team with another Japanese player? I'd want to have someone else to talk with, other than the translator.
What's highly absurd is just a few years ago it was reported at least two or three times i saw , that the AAV was used to calculate the luxury tax . Now all of a sudden it's supposedly not. Somethin weally swkewy is going on here.
Something no one is mentioning, yes the Dodgers eventually have to pay that and it will impact that then, but what are the penalty thresholds in 10-20 years. The "cap" will keep going up so the impact will lessen at that time. Also, for income tax purposes, and I dont know for sure on this, but when you file your taxes, it asks how much you MADE this year, whether you were paid that money or not. He may still be taxed on that now, but im not really sure.
I am SUPER EXCITED about getting Ohtani !!!!! BUT….. NOT excited about the manager !!!!! Same manager…. Same results next year !!!!! FIRE Dave Roberts ASAP !!!!
Given the complexity of the contract, it seems unlikely that the Dodgers went up by $100 million or so at the last minute like some people have indicated. Thus, overbidding the Jays at the last minute.
California takes way too much if Shohei was taking 70 mil a year. The guy is right, Shohei once retired will avoid California taxes if he goes back to Japan.
That tells me he doesn't care about money all that much plus it must have been a great negotiating tactic. For starters, it is believed Shohei makes upwards of $45 mil a year just off the field. So, you don't have to worry about him, he is not exactly going to starve on the streets. So, obviously $45 mil/year is already enough to keep him happy. If he was money crazy, he would want the full $70 mil/year and invest the money himself. Instead, he chooses to use his Dodgers money as a fund for his retirement. Imagine when his agent Balelo tells Friedman, hey Andrew, this is what we are going to do, your initial offer is just too low for our liking, what we want is $700 mil for 10 years, wait but you will love this, Shohei will only take $2 mil every year and the rest is deferred. Friedman must have jumped from his chair!! Really??? Yea, yea sure we will do it, you have a deal!! Thanks Nez!! LOL.
How crazy is it that Shohei Ohtani will only be paid $2 million per season during his 10-year contract with the Dodgers? 🤯
Less than our fearless captain Austin Barnes 😂😭😭
Not really he has always been this way…. 2 million is probably too much still for him
Last night on TV Asahi News Station, former WBC manager Kuriyama said that Ohtani would only receive $3 to $4 million a year, with the rest coming after the 11th year.

maybe real🎉
Othani, in a non direct way is telling Yamamoto to sign with the Dodgers, "Hey I made room for you"
First thing that I thought too
@@tagamial it really happened, lol . Amazing
Congrats Dodgers and Ohtani for getting the deal done, Shohei will look great in Dodger Blue!

Never Let it never be said that this guy isn’t all about winning
I'm speechless. Wow!
Wow, the way Shohei has chosen to structure his contract, Shohei is going to be considered the greatest Dodger of all time in the eyes of the Dodger fans !
He’s smart, He’s gonna be part ownership for the dodger when he’s retired
Mad respect!
So, he rewards the Dodgers for the contract, he elevates Dodgers and his chances to win, he fixes the Media’s and fan’s news issues, and he shows players and owners how to win, if you say you really want to.
ohtani wants to win WS, he is giving the dodgers the opportunity to sign starters and any other players that they need to win the world series.
God I’m so grateful for our management. Absolute master class of an offseason so far and handled this singing I think better than any team could have
When they guy says he wants to WIN HE FUCKING MEANS IT HOLY SHYT
Ohtani is already a dodger legend
absolute genius-tani!!! Go Dodgers!!! Please win a WS!!!
The conversation went from “did the Dodgers paid too much for Ohtani”? to “Damn the Dodgers got a great deal”!
Ohtani gonna be part ownership for the dodger when he retire
Genius move
Press Conference will be most watched!!!!!
I can't wait
The man is NOT selfish !!! period !!! - anyone else would want the cash now this year & every year & buy their first 25 million mansion & 1/2 dozen Lambo's / Farrari's / Range rovers + party all night - who cares about other teammates. as long it's me me me.

He still gets around 30 million a year from endorsements lol Dude is a cash cow

I hear Ohtani gives his money to his mother and she gives him a few thousand a month to use

INSANE! wow what a twist
Pinch me I'm seeing all Blue! Go Dodgers!
Wow.. Ohtani and Dodgers finance department just took all the league's to school how to make mega deals..🤯🤯
One has to think Shohei structured this deal himself to have Yamamoto joins him wearing Dodgers Blue
Mets fan here but really exicted to see what the Dodgers do now and moving forward. This puts them in a perfect spot to get Yamamoto now. wouldnt shock me to see the Dodgers implement a 6 man rotation moving forward.

That's a lethal rotation and then next year you bring back one of Glasnow or Buehler, Shohei is pitching again and no doubt in my mind if Sasaki is coming over he'll be a Dodger too.
Sasaki team not letting him go 😂😂😂 ( unless he has something on his contract ) and NPB will lower his pay like Ohtani 😅😅😅
3 in a row!!!!
Good job, guys. 👍
Andrew Friedman basically unlocked a cheat code that nobody even knew existed
Contra code on roids
thanks to ohtani
Great man makes great decisions to win built championships
I love Shohei!
Already bought my Ohtani jersey this morning.
Whattt? That’s insane!
Shohei makes $40 mil a year in endorsements. Dude don't need the cash
There will never be another Ohtani again. He is so selfless. Dodgers need to find a way to free his best friend, Mike Trout from the Angels prison and bring him to play with him.
MY GOAT SO HUMBLE
Welcome Yamamoto!!!
It’s almost like he will be working for FREE for Dodger over next 10 years! CrAzY!!!
The Angels are going to have an attendance decline and revenue drop from lost Japanese sponsorships.
Japanese sponsorship...yes. Attendance no.
Unreal
Ohtani was expected to make $50m a year. His aav is $46m a year. He deferred $680m to free up backup catcher money
Yeah 24 million is back catcher money
😂
@@DW-op7ly 4 million
only 46 million applies… so that’s 24 million
And the Dodgers are still 15 to 17 million under that luxury tax threshold
@@DW-op7ly you don’t understand. There is no scenario where he would get $70m a year without deferred money.
Some people aren't driven by $$$$
build him a statue!
Already a fan favorite and he hasn't worn a Dodgers jersey
With Shohei Ohtani's deferrals we now have the money to sign Shohei Ohtani.
He is from angels. Maybe he is real angel.❤
What if he retires at the end of 10 years and move to a state with no state income tax...does he escape the high California taxes?!
Yes
@@jayreyes4907 Future California Governors just might hold him hostage to pay all them taxes...or pass legislation to the effect that if you earn money in the state of California, you will be responsible for income earned in California no matter your future residence!
@@zhoubaidinh403Dodgers can set up an office in Dallas or Miami and pay him out if that.
California and the dollar will probably have collapsed by the time his ten years is up anyway.
So apparently shohei ohtani wanted to sign with thr dodgers because he loves dodgerheads and dodgers nation
Shohei is the man...... what a team player. And he can move to Japan when he retires, and say "Yo... Newsom.... come and get it!" (and yeah, I'm aware Newsom will not be Gov then.....) God I hope not.
Bro why bring politics? OHTANI is a Dodger now and keep on topic Baseball.
hopefully newsom will be nowhere near any political office by then
16:35 Great show gentlemen! Aside from Yamamoto amd Snell who else would the Dodgers go after in free agency? 17:59
Yamamoto on the way
Our front office really got this done I am very grateful for Andrew Friedman and Magic, etc
Ticket prices will be sky high.
Has nothing to do with smart.
Ohtani was “willing” to do this. How many superstars are offered this and say hell no show me da money.
Ohtani is serious about winning a World Series. Other teams and fans gonna be crying. 😂🤣. It’s not fair!!
MLB will probably change the rules and say only half can be deferred at most.
Dodgers should tell Ohtani they want him in the Yamamoto meeting, just for translation purposes. 😉
Maybe Ohtani did this, just to get Yamamoto.
His preorder jersey, is running like dodger dogs 😮
Congratulations Shohei Ohtani on signing with the Dodgers.
Dodgers only sign good character players to big contracts like these
Ohtani was always not about the money , just think his pay he just pass it to mom 😂 she then gives him a few thousand per month 😅 ( yes it's japanese culture the women controls the money he's not married so mom holds the money ) . There's tons of women drooling at Ohtani right now 😂 . 2 million per year is crazy and dodgers side step those tax I'm sure MLB is probably jumping up in anger 😂😂😂
Yamamoto has said he wants to play with other Japanese players right?
So does Shohei ask for the two million upfront? 😂
One quick correction! The difference in Net Present Value between getting $700 million over 10 years and structuring it the way Ohtani has chosen to is approximately $100 million (not the $240 number I mentioned in the video!). Had a finance friend correct me :)
I’ve seen others say up to 240 million
guys never worry about the money
the dodgers have a TV deal for 25 years worth 7 billion... they already have the total amount ohtani is owed... it's a non issue
If I knew how to breakdance, I would!
Hers already making 25M in endorsements so he’s like yeah let me save that for later 😂
Maybe Ohtani's avoiding the California state tax at 13% !!! Then when he retires he's flying back to Japan with 13% extra on 68 million times ten!
極端すぎて色々心配しますが彼は本当に勝ちたいのですね。
Money made in California is still taxed in California even if you live somewhere else.
Let's not forget inflation. Currently it's like 6% a year so in 10 year time it's gonna eat the absolute value by 80%. Unless it has some clause about current rates adjustment.
I do wish they didn’t announce it. Now who’s going to want to trade us?
So does this mean the Dodgers were under the 2023 luxury tax? Because if this is true then they should be saving 10-15 million a year with all the deferrals Mookie and Freeman get per year. Which means their luxury tax penalties will be reset to year 1. Which is a 15% tax rather than 50%
now go get Yamamoto!!
Man what kind of pitch did the front office give to Ohtani 😳
I’m sure none. It’s probably the reverse. Ohtani telling the Dodgers, “listen, this is how this is gonna go down…”
ohtani's wanted to be a dodger since high school
How can you not like Ohtani?! He gave up his $ so he can win
And it happened for one reason. Honor. The Japanese aren't Americans. Some things are more important. He wants to win and wants he best for all concerned. He lives a life of integrity and it shows. He's not a freaking LIV golfer or some arrogant American athlete equating money to "respect." Love everything about this man. Can't wait to see him every night.
Now there is no excuse not to get Yamamoto and trade for Cease or Burnes.
SF Giants fan, “Shohei, why do you hate us so much?”
No prblm. He be making 70mil$ /yr on endorsements
I wonder how his agent is getting paid with a contract structured like that
I'll just put this out there that if Yamamoto is concerned about the Japanese media scrum that will surround him, he should sign with the Dodgers because Ohtani would draw a lot of attention away from him. btw, why do at least some Japanese players not want to be on a team with another Japanese player?

So your theory is that MLB will give away $300 million or more in CBT revenue? Don’t hold your breath that MLB will approve that deal.
Something no one is mentioning, yes the Dodgers eventually have to pay that and it will impact that then, but what are the penalty thresholds in 10-20 years. The "cap" will keep going up so the impact will lessen at that time.

I spoke to an accountant. Because he earned his money in California regardless if he lives there still, he'll probably be taxed that amount
the league cant change players contracts with teams
I am SUPER EXCITED about getting Ohtani !!!!!
BUT…..
NOT excited about the manager !!!!!
Same manager….
Same results next year !!!!!
FIRE Dave Roberts ASAP !!!!
Given the complexity of the contract, it seems unlikely that the Dodgers went up by $100 million or so at the last minute like some people have indicated. Thus, overbidding the Jays at the last minute.
Yeah and also add in 2 million bucks a year
While leaving an estimated 240 million in todays dollars on the table
This is breaking the gsme. No way you should be able to derfer your salary for 10 years.
It’s interesting how fans are making the bad guy out of Ohtani...
Total Tom Brady Move!

What happens if baseball goes belly up before he retires?
is the announcement delayed because there's no room on the 40 man roster? maybe have to drop someone first.
They made that move earlier today, so there is room right now!
How much money we got left over to spend?
Taxes my friend's
Q: Whats the contract if Ohtani is not performing good? Is he locked in no matter what? He will be 39 yrs.
46 mil for the 10 yrs cba wise tho
