10 years, 700 million for Shohei

[Moranis]

WOW.  Dodgers broke the bank

700M.

Absolutely insane. For reference, that's 10M AAV more than Jaylen Brown. These contracts are gonna get bananas soon across all sports.

[goCeltics]

Jalen will cost 65 million in 2028. Obtain brings a huge market also.

[SparzWizard]

Dodgers going to be really good next season.

[ozgod]

I guess they're getting two players for the price of one...

[Phantom255x]

Ohtani won't pitch until 2024, so for 2023 he's a 70M DH lol. That's crazy stuff

Imagine if peak Ortiz (like around 2013) signed a deal in today's game, like a 60M+ AAV DH

Dodgers going to be really good next season.

aside from their pitching of course.

Cristiano still has the richest per year contract but Shohei definitely has the richest total contract.

[tenn_smoothie]

This is insanity - how long until the first billion dollar contract ?

[Birdman]

LeBron will pout cause Ohtani be making more a year in LA 😂
