The Most Insane Part of the Ohtani Contract

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert open the show with breaking news regarding the Ohtani Dodgers contract. He is taking $2M per season and deferring the remaining $68 to the end of the contract. For analysis, we welcome Shi Davidi (4:31) who explains why this works inside of the CBA, tax implications and why his money from endorsements was already at $40M per year. Then, we look at how close the Jays were, what their plans are next and if you’d rather be in it and lose or never be in it at all. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
