Wow. Dodgers sign Othani for 10 years 700 million.

 

[saddles]

Can we move on now?

 

[saddles]

The price of doing business in MLB just keeps going up and up and up and up.

 

[saddles]

Let's sign Hader, now.

 

[saddles]

I wonder what Ohtani's deal is worth in present day dollars since so much is deferred. Then I wonder how much that present day figure is worth after California state taxes.

This could be huge.

Glad they got him. If his arm doesn't hold up, they will have a very expensive DH.

I heard that he’s not suppose to pitch till 2025.

 

[Duane1952]

Never thought Othani was going to leave the West Coast. Can’t imagine what a Dodger’s ticket is going to cost.

That's insane. A team should have put some stipulations based upon innings pitched.

Hope this will be a lesson to MLB. Wish no harm to Otanhi but if he goes south after surgery then maybe this insane money wil stop.

It’s time for some type of salary cap for the MLB.

 

[Kelleyman]

A lot of deferred money my guess is close 50 million per year in present day value

Guess a lot of recoup with endorsements etc
Still quite a bit
Just not thinking his arm lasts 10 years.
Maybe he can become a closer fro extend arm

Bobby Bonilla revisited

Now that we have won a championship it seems our goal for sometime will be higher than keeping up with the Astros. Will the Soto trade and the Ohtani signing force CY and ownership to change course and spend more? For example, do we push hard for both Hader and Yamamoto.

If Roki Sasaki does become available, he would be quite the catch.

Hader for sure. Somewhere in the scheme of things.....money comes into play.

Spotrac has Jordan Hicks' market value sitting around 3.4 million a year. That seems way low. He'd be the next guy I'd focus in on signing. In fact, I'd target another guy of Hicks' caliber immediately afterwards, too. Then look to acquire a quality starting pitcher via trade.

I'd sign Hicks and Matt Moore BTW.
