I have a young relative of mine. Young black kid too. He is super nice in baseball. He BPs 2x a week with professional trainer. Former major leaguer. Live arm and juggs machine. Already hitting breaking balls and off speed pitches.
Pylometrics 2x week. CF and infield drills weekly. Has 50+ exit velo. He's by far the fastest on his travel ball team and he plays up. He's only 7 years old.

I say that to say this. Black inner city kids have been absolutely priced out of baseball. If you cant allocate at least 6k/yr for travel ball, training, and equipment forget about it. And thats for the littke kids 10 and under. Middle scool and HS is way more.
Half mlb is from D.R. they live off $5 USD a day

Oh wow. $680 million deferred at 0% interest starting in 2034, this will get revised by MLB for future transactions.
Why should it?
I don't see the issue
Most players don't want to see only 2 million per year on their big contract I don't think it will really be a popular option to do a contract like this

With having that much deferred money, I feel like I'd be nervous the Dodgers would try to come up with some dirt and not pay that $680 mil after ten years for some contract violation.:pachaha:.
shyt like that, and the fact that this ownership group won't even be around in ten years, makes it worth it. If I'm magic johnson and them i'm starting to sell in 8 years

his agent is a fukking moron. $2mm a year in LA? He gonna be living pretty humble for the life of an athlete. We about to see Otani commercials all day to make some look

They say he made 40 Million off endorsements last year alone, probably bump that to 50 being a Dodger now. He'll be okay
