Former Major Leaguers gather for a heated discussion about Ohtani’s new contract.
The new contract “may be worth $700 million (about 10.365 billion yen),” they argued.
Shohei Ohtani of the Angels has been very successful in June, hitting 14 home runs. Reports are heating up about how he will be treated after becoming a free agent this offseason. On the podcast program “Foul Territory,” a former major leaguer appeared and argued that a new contract might be worth $700 million (about 10.365 billion yen) based on the “current valuation. As for the team that can pay the huge sum, some people are saying, “It’s the Dodgers.
The basis of the debate is a post by Spotrac, a website that provides information on player contracts in various sports in the U.S., which reads, “The current valuation of Shohei Otani of the Angels, who is the most likely FA & MVP by a long shot, based on our projection model. The numbers jump to $202 million (¥29.25 billion) over six years as a pitcher and $326 million (¥47.2 billion) over nine years as a hitter.
In addition to this amount, moderator Scott Brown noted “the amount of money he’s going to make in terms of marketing. He could bring the team another $30 million. So even if his salary is $550 million or $600 million, he might be worth $700 million if he can make $30 million (in marketing),” he noted.
The question is, “But who can pay that much?” The question is, “But who can pay that much? The question was posed by AJ Pierzynski, who played for the Twins and White Sox and has a total of 2,043 hits. He added, “Realistically, what team is going to put their hand out and pay him $600 million? You’d like me to say the Yankees, but I can’t imagine the Yankees doing that right now. The Cubs? Ricketts (chairman) doesn’t usually do that. The Dodgers. The Red Sox probably won’t do it,” he said, predicting that the Dodgers are the only team that could “match” Ohtani’s value.
