OT: Other Sports 82

[Paul Allen]

From what I’ve read, Ohtani asked for most of the salary to be deferred, so he’ll probably be getting paid 30years after the deal is over.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Ohtani is that guy. Good for the Dodgers.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Otani’s contract calls for $680 million of the $700 million dollar deal to be deferred. He will collect $2 million a year.

The CBT hit will be $46 million

Is he collecting two million a year for the next 350 years? What?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Allegedly the deferred money is interest-free. That is a shockingly good deal for the Dodgers if true.

How long of a stretch is it deferred over?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Two million dollars in salary for the next decade.
Assuming once the contract ends he starts collecting the rest of the yearly salary for the ten or twenty years after that.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

At least according to NBC LA, its deferred to the end of his contract in 2034, and then he has ten annual $68 million payments.

Shohei Ohtani to defer $680 million of Dodgers contract until end of deal, reports say

Shohei Ohtani reportedly will just make $2 million annually with the Los Angeles Dodgers, deferring $68 million of his $70 million annual salary until the end of his deal in 2034.

1) it seems bad for baseball.
2) would explain why the dollar is so high .. inflation.
3) seems bad for baseball. Awful precedent to set.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

The next CBA is going to address this IMO

Its a bit of bullshit but the Dodgers were shrewd to push limits knowing this is legal under current agreement

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Cali is gonna be pissed

Whoever put this deal together is pretty god damn smart

Impressive shit (Even if its bullshit)

 

[TLEH]

Deferred money been done before; just no where near this level. This is why NHL has AAV.

So, are the Bulls really better without Zach Lavine?

Yep

Offense runs thru others when he isn't there with more ball distribution and the team D is improved without him

Bulls really should move to offload him as he is also showing some concerning signs of decline this year

Might be an example of too many chiefs, not enough Indians, too.

Basketball is the sport I don’t know jack shit about when it comes to the NBA, not how the league works, trade value, nothing.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Allegedly the deferred money is interest-free. That is a shockingly good deal for the Dodgers if true.

The other way to look at it is the deal IS the interest.

It's $460mm in today's money.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Alot of $ and term for guy making jump from Korea to ML

Very risky (I as owner would probably not do it)

He is young though (25) so if it works out its great for them

 

[Ben Grimm]

Bulls to induct Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, others in first-ever Ring of Honor

The Bulls are inducting 13 people and the entire 1995-96 team into their Ring of Honor next month.

Green is POS scumbag and its time for NBA to actually hold him accountable

I mean they're just going to pay someone else the money that's freed up, so not sure it matters too much to Cali.

I have no issue with it. A team being smart, and a lot of players aren't going to want to take a deal like that anyway.

Tyler Glasgow to the dodgers with a extension

I wonder what the Dodgers excuse will be when they fail to win in 2024?

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Good for the Dodgers. Acting like a big market team. Doesn't mean they're going to win it, but they consistently put themselves in the conversation.
