  1. yes grown men chase rubber balls around while the world burns

  2. Shohei Ohtani will receive just $20 million of his contract over the next 10 years, with $680 million payable from 2034-43 in an unusual structure that gives the team greater payroll flexibility in coming seasons. With his endorsement and merchandise of $40 million per year, which will grow every year, he can afford to give the team payroll flexibility to get top players supporting him.

  3. Dodger Fan:
    YES, we got Ohtani.
    Next spring:
    WTF do you mean $50 to park and $15 hot dogs.

  4. Someone thinks they can buy a world series. Wonder if the rest of the team is excited about their extremely over paid team mate?

  5. I've only got one question: Is Shohei Ohtani planning to get the Dodgers to wear the kabuto, like he did the Angels last season? For those not aware, last season, the Angels passed around a kabuto (samurai helmet) whenever one hit a home run.

  6. 10 post seasons in the last 10 years, $700M, he said he likes Mookie and Freddie, Great weather. Mic drop

  7. Omedetou Gozaimashita Ōtani-San!

  8. 37% Fed tax,13% Ca state income tax, and 2% added Ca millionaire tax.. (should have taken half and play for a tax free state)
