    Ohtani just wants to win and he is doing all he can to help his team win. If people are criticizing him, let them. Ohtani is doing nothing illegal or even unethical. All other great players don't really care about their team, they care about themselves and getting the most money and biggest contract. Ohtani clearly is not driven by money, but by winning. If anyone should be mad, it should be directed at all the other players who drive up contracts for themselves. Those players ruin the game, not Ohtani.

    • @omgbygollywow
      @omgbygollywow Рік тому +6

      @@JimONeil He did care about winning in the past, but first he had to prove himself to MLB teams. The Angels did give him a chance to do both pitching and hitting, so that is one of the main reasons he went with them. He had to prove himself.
      Now that he has proven himself, he is in this position and now it's all about winning. Let's see how this turns out. I predict he will get a handful of championships with the Dodgers before his career is over. If so, he would immortalize himself in the history of MLB.
      How many multiple MVP winners have won multiple championships? Only Joe Dimaggio, Yogi Berra, Stan Musial, Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan, I think.

    Sho-time's a different cat. Pragmatic... an introvert... and a perfectionist. Barkley said that athletes should not be viewed as role models. But, in a world in need of real-life "heroes", Ohtani's a good example of someone kids can emulate and look up to.

    Ohtani keeps proving it is not just about the money. He lived in dorms, went to MLB forgoing hundreds of millions and now this differment. He just wants to be the best player he can be and achive as much as he can. Would we like him to do more interviews? Yes but in 20 years when his carear is over and most fans will talk about him like a myth to their kids will it matter.

    One of the reasons why Ohtani chose the Dodgers over the Blue Jays is because of the broadcast time slot from Japan. The Dodgers on the West Coast will be broadcasting around 10 a.m., while the East Coast Blue Jays will be broadcast around 2 a.m. Japan time. In other words, Japanese people will not be able to watch live broadcasts of East Coast teams for the next 10 years. Otani wants Japanese people, especially children, to watch him play baseball live. That's why I first decided on the West Coast Angels.

    Next season, if a Dodgers game starts at night, the broadcast time in Japan will start at 11:10 a.m. Also, if the local game starts at noon, the broadcast time in Japan will start at 5:10 a.m.
    For example, if the East Coast game starts at night, the broadcast time in Japan will start at 8:10 a.m. Also, if the local game starts at noon, the broadcast time in Japan will start at 2:10 a.m.
    That's why in Japan, most people in Japan are in bed and can't see Ohtani during the live broadcast of the daytime game on the East Coast.

      Yes, depends on the discount rate that's applied to the $68M that gets paid starting in 2034. But about $46M per year in present-day money. And that's how much the Dodgers have to put in escrow per year.

      The luxury tax, which exceeds the standard total annual salary imposed on a team, is imposed on active players who are affiliated with the team, so they are not subject to the luxury tax regardless of how much the team pays them because they are not affiliated players once their 10-year contract is over.But I can't think of any other player other than Otani who would agree to such a low salary for 10 years.
