Facts

Got nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself lol....OP hating for no reason

I stopped watching baseball seriously with the Ohtani bullshyt. If the Dodgers or Mets get Soto and defer his shyt like Ohtani I’ll permanently bush it.

Those deferments shouldn’t be allowed.

There’s nothing in the CBA that says that they can’t do it as other teams do it as well just not to the extent that Ohtani did.

Unless you’re feeling to capping it at a certain percentage or amount?

That aint no damn steal lol

Juan gonna be unplayable in the field in 5 years or less. So for 7 years or more he will have to be your DH. Lowkey thats the only reason the Dodgers might not go after him with them having Ohtani at DH

The money was always headed this way it just would've took another 5-10 years before teams got comfortable with it. The Ohtani anomaly accelerated shyt and now top players after are gonna push as close as they can to it. Like they should, can't blame the players, it's on teams to see through it

What's gonna end up happening if not for Soto then the next player, the team that signs him is easily going to have one of the worst contracts ever in sports. That dollar amount and production in the later years will offset anything you get from Soto being 26 for example. They can't pitch and hit like Ohtani, they won't move merch and get eyes like Ohtani, they won't have a country with money behind them like Ohtani. And country is probably underselling, Koreans fukk with him heavy too

Ohtani, the season he just had, and this WS win just made it so the Dodgers print money in the far east until the earth stops spinning. Long after he hangs it up LA will still make money off him and players over there that wanna play for the Dodgers just like he did. You can argue the 700 m's that way. Soto's just another great Dominican player, a dime a dozen. Completely impossible to recoup even a fraction of what Ohtani brings and for not just Soto but everybody.

You shouldn’t be able to defer a 70 million dollar per year salary. You just stack a team now and worry about paying for it later down the line.

That shyt shouldn’t even be allowed at all.

Some owner is gonna stack the deferments and then sell the team before they have to pay. They know it’s some rich guy who will pony up.

 

[Street Knowledge]

It will be 700

 

[Dorian Breh]

baseball teams are worth several billions

contract gonna be for over a decade

yall dont understand microeconomics
