Never heard of it…

Thats a horrible deal for a team that cannot win when it matters. Don't tell me about 2020 that was a major * title for a team that never can play a full 162 and win. 70 million a year? ROFL. If the dude was 25 maybe. Not 30 coming off another arm surgery.

Dodgers are stupid, always have been, always will be. Glad it wasn't the Sox.

Ohtani might make me watch baseball again.

Not unless you live on the West Coast. Nobody gets to see him play. Ditto for Trout. It's too bad really.

 

[Deus Irae]

Way too much money for a 30 year old who's going to be playing on one arm this season.


Prove me wrong, Shohei.

 

[LordSensei1958]

He's going to keep the stadium packed and people buying his merch. He'll keep the cash registers ringing. I would have loved to see him on the Sox with a shorter cheaper deal. Like 5/300.

 

[paperhanger]

Sox won't pay anyone near that. we are stuck with john henry, can cora and a shit team.

Yep, another last place finish next year.

Thought I'd put this here because it's baseball related;

Happy he didn’t sign with the Yankees or the Blue Jays.

Shohei is deferring 680 million. He will be paid 2 million per year. Thats unreal and the commissioner needs to step in.

Prove me wrong, Shohei.

In fairness, wait until you see what he’s actually taking home after taxes.

Why? He can do whatever he pleases with his money. It’s not exactly unheard of either. There’s a Bobby Bonilla Day every July 1.

Shohei's put the Dodgers in position to be competitive for the entire time he's there. If that means the Dodgers are boned after that, it won't affect Shohei at all.

And let's never forget Bobby Bonilla day!
