Shohei Ohtani Opens Up on Contract Deferrals, Reveals Promise Dodgers Made to Him

When Shohei Ohtani signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a 10-year, $700 million deal last year, the baseball world was sent into a frenzy.

The Dodgers, who had dominated the National League West for the last decade but had just one shortened-season World Series victory to show for it, were adding arguably the greatest free agent ever to the largest free agent contract in MLB history.

That, alone, was enough to set the baseball world on fire. Then, the contract details emerged. Ohtani was deferring $680 million of the $700 million, paying him just $2 million per season for the 10 years he would play in L.A.

While non-Dodger fans were outraged by the contract, it was later revealed that Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balelo, offered that same structure to every team who wanted to sign him. In fact, it was Ohtani’s idea. Almost a year after he signed the richest contract in MLB history, Ohtani spoke to Bob Nightengale of USA Today in an exclusive interview, where he spoke about those deferrals and the “promise” he and the Dodgers made to each other.

“You know, Mark (Walter), Andrew (Friedman), the owners, we all made a promise to each other that we would go out and create the best team to put out on the field,” Ohtani said. “And we were able to win the World Series, so in that sense we were able to keep our promise towards each other.”
