The San Francisco Giants could have more than half of their roster next season make more than two-way phenom, and reported Dodgers signee, Shohei Ohtani in 2024.
The race for the present-day greatest player in baseball ended Saturday, when the Dodgers reportedly signed Ohtani for a whopping 10-year, $700 million contract. It wasn’t too surprising that the reigning American League MVP chose the star-studded franchise over other suitors, including the Giants.
What was surprising were the details about his contract that came out on Monday. According to multiple reports, Ohtani will defer $680 million of his salary until after the end of his deal.
