The first Billion dollar contract is not far away.

$416,000.00 a game and won’t throw in all of them. If my 5 th grade math is right

I think his shoulder is messed up , won't pitch next year maybe miss the season , just hit.

Worth every penny of it. We don't see Ohtani on this coast tons but he's on lists with Ruth. If you on any list with Babe Ruth your good.

Worth 70 million to play a kids game?!? Oh my lord, that is ridiculous. There is not an athlete alive worth that kind of money. What do they really contribute to the world? They throw and try to hit a little ball. Lets get real. No wonder this counrty is so screwed up. We worship people that play for a living.

Athletes are like actors, rock groups, rappers, or any other entertainment. They deserve with the market will pay. We’re just fools for supporting them. Most in the rap world could not run a drive thru.

That's insane I saw that and thought geez. Works as much as hunter biden for that money

AMEN!! I dont give 2 shucks about any athlete or celebrity!!

they’ll make it back in apparel, addl ticket sales, and Japanese tv contracts. the Japanese love some baseball and he is Japanese baseball.

If he brings in $70,000,001 in revenue for the Dodgers this year (ticket sales, merchandise, etc.), he’s worth it.

If I got that rate of return on my retirement, I would fire my advisor in a minute. That would be pitiful. Just to play a dang game. Wow!! I know teachers that have to buy school supplies with their own money at times. What a screwed up world!!!

Why would you fire your advisor? That would be stupid. I’ll take that return the first year because the next year the Money will double. Bank on it. There’s a big difference in teachers and celebrities. You’ve got millions of ticket and merchandise buyers out there for celebrities but only maybe 20-25 kids in that classroom and schools don’t generate or receive income except from tax dollars.

I don't watch a lot of baseball but I keep up with him. He's an exciting player for sure.

That payday is going to take a big hit after Kalifornistan gets their cut of taxes.

How is a 1 dollar return on 70 million even remotely good?

I wonder what Japan taxes its citizens for money earned in foreign countries. I bet its steep.

I concur!! Humanity is doomed. People’s priorities are messed up.

They aren’t paying him to lose money. You can be guaranteed that the dodgers are coming out on top with this deal.

Start watching teachers on TV rather than sports!

Because the next year I would more than double my money. It’s like the give me a dollar today and double the total amount every day after that. Just see what happens. I believe in a month you would have over a million dollars. So $1 today plus $2 tomorrow =$3, plus $3=$6 plus $6=$12 plus $12=$24 plus$24=$48 plus$48=$96 plus $96=$192 plus $192=$384 plus $384=$768 plus $768=$1536 plus $1536=$3072 and so on. That’s just 12 days. That’s why I would take that first year’s return. Ass in seats, merch, and advertisements here and in Japan is gonna well pay for him.
