According to Ohtani’s agent Balelo the ONLY reason Ohtani is deferring compensation is to allow the Dodgers the opportunity to use the funds for player acquisition.

Not taxes or autism.

Contract language is specific as to how the savings are to be used.

An incredible gamble on the Dodgers in the hope of cementing himself as the greatest ever with the last piece of the puzzle - post season. He chose the club with singularly unique historic post season fail.

Of course, Ojtwni will be making less than Ausitn Barnes who Fraudman will no doubt keep despite his negative WAR.
Gambling on Fraudman and the Dodgers with his only few years in the MLB is the height of lunacy.

Fraudman is about to cement his own legacy. I will be proven right at the expense of my love of Ohtani.

It’s all a damn shame

Ohtani and his agent should have signed with Atlanta. Who knew this loophole existed?

Can the contract be voided by MLB? I do not think it’s been inked. Let’s see.
