I will bet someone $10 that Ohtani will retire at the end of the contract and "buy" 15% of the Dodgers with the money.

MLB better kill this deal.

Can they? I'd love to see that happen but I don't know if the CBA allows them to or not. I'm curious if you, or anyone, knows for sure.

No matter what they need to add some sort of deferment cap to the next CBA. I can see letting some happen but maybe only allow it to be like 10% or 20% of the contract. Even then I'd rather them be stricter. That or maybe something like deferred money counts 2 or 3x against the CBT in those years so that teams can't try to get around it like this.

Unfortunately it is perfectly legal.

I guess the good news is that the contract is untrabeable.

Seems like Such BS to allow teams to do this! So unless you play with funny money it will be tough to compete with teams willing to hand out contracts like that deferring 10years of crazy money geesh… total joke!

This kind of stuff should be illegal.

Kind of like all those teams with big 3 stars in the NBA…oh wait…

Agree, the deferment clause is ridiculous. I’m so not an expert on the inner workings of the CBA but some semblance of a salary cap needs to happen.

They are nowhere near the money Ohtani is getting combined! LOL!

 

[Yuma]

They were saying on the radio, Ohtani will be paid years afterwards beyond the ten years.

He's this generation's Bobby Bonilla. It's crazy that Bobby will still be getting paid when Ohtani's deferred payments start.

The Dodgers deferred $115 million of Mookie Betts' deal and $57 million of Freddie Freeman's, about 1/3rd of the total in each case.

I feel the same way about that. NBA is pretty unwatchable.

Without the ability to defer hundreds of millions of dollars the valley doesn’t have their lone championship.
