Ohtani is poised to land the biggest contract in sports history.

Combined 5 years 500 million /s
11 years, 530 million is my prediction
18 years, $563 million
Dude is about to break the bank.
12/600M
This isn’t really an accurate projection tho. The pitcher sure, but no dh has been given a 330 million contract for 10 years and never will
20 years 1 billion minimum
10/$550M
Full team ownership to the ____?
I drafted both versions of him in my fantasy league this year. Gonna be a good year.
Yankees gonna end up paying him lmao
I dont know shit about baseball, but i know he deserves every bit 😂
Red Sox breaking the bank by offering 200M for 10 years 😤

Wherever he lands one things guaranteed. The Giants will be used as leverage like they always are to up the bid for wherever he signs. Probably the dodgers.
11 years 535 million
Future Blue Jay
10/480
Yall on crack if you think Ohtani gets 500m.
Not sure how long he’s going to be able to play at this pace, but boy is someone about to back up the brinks trucks at his front door.
Obviously adding them up gives you an 18 year 563 million dollar contract /s
10/605. There’s a roster spot that he frees up by being a pitcher and DH, and he’s so big internationally- that there is no amount of money a team can spend that they won’t profit off him.
Great so Cardinals offer 10yrs 550
These figures assume a GM/Owner are only getting a player. They are also getting unique, and massive, broadcast rights and merchandise sales that come along with Ohtani. His pay will be over indexed compared to similar performing players. Anything over $600mm wouldn’t surprise me.
I would sign him to a unique deal. 10 years for 500 million. 10 years for pitching and 10 years for hitting. He gets a 5 million bonus when doing both but get a deduction when not doing one of them. This deal would probably never be signed but I think it would far for both sides.
I say 10 years, $550 million
If he waits another year or two; and keeps getting better? Blank check
Ohtani has a lot of value as a two way player,
Except…
It is improbable to assume he will continue to do both into his mid and late 30’s
He is one person doing two things, which increases risk. If he injured a leg for example. You lose two players.
I think everyone’s eyes are lighting up when they see ohtani and 500m, but realistically… he will probably be getting 45-48m aav, for 10 years. Keep in mind we have only seen a healthy ohtani for two seasons, and he’s entering uncharted territory as far as how long he can keep this up.
I mean according to the graphic I guess 18 year at $563M….right?
Doesn’t Patrick mahomes have a bigger contract
OK his hitting numbers are not that great. Did he win the Triple Crown? No he didn’t. So he’s not worth that much for hitting.
That mula ensures you will make the playoffs every year and go deep in October. Especially if you were to pair him with the best other all around player in the league! Oh wait…
I’d love to see John Stanton shed the “cheap owner” reputation and offer Ohtani a 10 year / half billion contract.
Dodgers will end up paying him.
That will be great if he signs it with the Chicago Cubs for next year and beyond! Otherwise who cares? I sure don’t.
Is this what he’s projected given the amount he does each role? He’s an amazing pitcher but he only threw 168 innings.
Someone is gonna give him 12 years/500 million no question.
Wow… I’ve never thought Japanese player get the largest contract in MLB history… 566 million???
Pretty sure he wants to play for a West Coast team. Sorry New York 🙁
18 years??
Merch- as George Lucas famously said, it’s all about the merchandise.
18 years, 563 mil. Got it
no human is worth that tax the f**k out of that
I’m really hoping he doesn’t end up in NY, especially with the Yankees. I’d rather he stay on the Angels than go to the Yankees or Mets lol
It all adds up if you think about it
As long as he doesn’t go to the yankees its all good
Lets not forget he is the highest followed MLB player and argualbly the most popular in the world. whatever the number is you basically also get the entire country of Japan so that should make things interesting.
