I think with ohtani either the hitting OR the pitching will go, but not both. So I think the back end of that contract will be fine. Not to mention the international appeal and attention to the dodgers.
Breaking MLB free agency news: Shohei Ohtani is signing with the LA Dodgers 10 years 700 million.

Black Americans made baseball relevant. We all know about the past. Now for moving forward…MLB actively avoid promoting the game to black americans
They barely promote the game to Haitians on the same island as DR.

The only sport left for the streets is football, everything else coming with more and more barriers

Forget the marketability. Yes that means something, but there’s a lot of stars in that league. Baseball just isn’t gonna highlight you at the expense of the team you play for. Aaron Judge runs NY, but he’s a Yankee at the end of the day and that’s the big selling point. Thats why Ohtani and Trout MLB wanted the Angels to do well. In basketball we don’t care how your team does as long as you cook.
Facts the pro-league/private coaching/grassroots systems makes it hard for anyone on a lower socioeconomic level or 2-black parent household
Dodgers have more world series titles than the blue jays in the last 40 years. Let me just throw an arbitrary number to make myself feel better
LA Kings got more Titles than The Leafs in the last 45 Years

It's crazy how fast basketball has transitioned that way. Almost every time I go shoot around at the gym I see some jit with a trainer
Sheeeesh.
$700 mil
Not a surprise that he’s staying out West but this dude has extended Dave Roberts time in LA. But they better be in the World Series at least 4 of these next 10 years
And maybe he can teach Kershaw how to pitch in the playoffs

Crazy thing is the pressure that comes might be wild. Unless son bats .400 and wins multiple world series mvps,mvsp he is gonna be criticized.
Knew he was always going to the Dodgers
Lol I know I'm getting old and sentimental because I could give a shyt about the money because some rich cock sucker can pay that bill just fine and make 10x back off the back if Ohtani and the Dodger name.
I don't care if the contract "ages" well. The easiest thing to do after someone signs is say "let's see it at the end"
like they are breaking a new sports hot take. He earned the money. In baseball you get paid off mostly what you've done and in hopes you can keep doing it. Ohtani has been one of the most fun athletes to watch and follow over all sports but has definitely made baseball more interesting again. I'm just hoping he continues to be legendary and can stay healthy because unless you're cutting the check, enjoy the Sho(w)

We still need to fix the staters and find a real closer
