MLB 2024 Off Season

They will make a bunch on this deal- how he plays is a bonus

cocksuckers.

F Me In The Brain

Time to comment (again) how foolish the Angels were to not trade Ohtani at the deadline for a bunch of prospects.  They were never signing him and most of us said that.

They prob outbid themselves by $200m at least

yes, I’m a pissed off Giants fan, but it seems a bit unfair that the d**gers can give mookie $365M in ‘21, mr. ed $162M in ‘22 and ohtani $700M in ‘23. are sports supposed to be fair? maybe not. hopefully, those cocksuckers will fail again as they continue to try to buy a championship.

I know LA will make that money back in ad revenue but it will still be a bad contract and mess with luxury tax and whatever ramifications that has.

well, apparently, so much is deferred that their payroll is lower than last year. oh well, it makes those cocksuckers hateable to more than just us Giants fans.

Don't worry, plenty of enmity coming from here.

$700 million for a dh

He pitches too you know, cmon. He will pitch again in 25.

Ad revenue and selling out the stadium won't be hard.

So I thought the Dodgers were going into a negotiating year w their broadcasting but they already inked a deal and will have their own channel.  The revenue that they will make from that will be insane.

I was really hoping he resigned w the Halos.  I wonder how much over the Dodgers bid on him?
Also say goodbye to Trout.  He will be traded this year to philly.

Time to pick a new team I guess...

well, we can always hope the second TJ is unsuccessful.

those cocksuckers already sell out their stadium to their bandwagon fans. 

stick with your halos...that's what a true fan would do.

I hate to say it, but they might as well (altho it doesn’t have to be philly. fuck, trade him up the road to the cocksuckers).

it would certainly fit their “let’s buy a championship” philosophy.

it’s being reported he will make $2M/yr for 10 years and then collect $680M.

cocksuckers.

^^^^ if this is the case, the gutless commissioner needs to step in and say no. it would be a blatant circumvention of the intent of the luxury tax.

cocksuckers.

I saw a year-by-year breakdown of the contract in a twitter graphic and thought it was a parody account.

Its stupid but legal.  MLB's entire economic system is shit.  Nobody is in a hurry to fix anything or close loopholes (unless other large market teams' fans get mad at the Mets or Dodgers).

Hard cap and floor with structure that doesnt allow for the stupid deferred circumvention.

I agree that is stupid but, somehow, legal. 

 As Johnny said: Shady AS FUCK!

But, we all know MLB LOVE when a Super Star is in a Major Market. They love this system , and so does the MLBPA, and I don't see it changing in my Lifetime.

Wobbie, your boys threw out $100+MM for a dude who mashed in Korea.  Hope that translates.

it’s a start. did he defer 97% of it?

F Me In The Brain

No, I think it all gets paid next year.    

Wobbie

let’s hope he’s good enough to opt out after four years. it’s the one year opt outs that kill me.

Arozarena posted a picture of him and Ohtani and now the rumors are starting he might go to L.A.
