The monetary engineers behind Shohei Ohtaniâ $700mn mega-contract
This week, hundreds of reporters gathered outside Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium to welcome Shohei Ohtani and inquire about the Japanese sensation’s decision to wear Dodger blue.
As he took the field for the first time wearing his immaculate No. 17 uniform, Ohtani reported that the owners of the team told him that, “when they look back at the last 10 years, they made the playoffs every year and even won one World Series, but they considered that a failure.” “I knew they were all about winning when I heard that.”
Ohtani’s enormous desire has propelled the Dodgers into record books with the signing of a 10-year, $700 million playing contract last week. It outpaces past record player agreements, such as the $450 million, 10-year contract.
