It's hard to see how that contract will make sense. At $70 million/year, Ohtani's contract is larger than the 2024 total payroll for eight MLB teams or 47% of the average MLB payroll of 147,827,561. For one player.

Granted, he's been extraordinary but there's no guarantee he can sustain that success for five more years, let alone ten. Also, the Dodgers may have to go on a budget to build contending teams around Ohtani. 

Not surprising John Henry and the Red Sox wouldn't bid that much for Ohtani. They don't overpay. 





Yup they’ll never do that again.

It's just amazing to think that Bryce Harper is in the middle of a 13-year, $330M contract.  He's a STEAL at that number... which is why Boros is working on an "extension" (the current contract ends when he's 38...extending him is a favor).

Yup they just dumped another 5 players. Looks like they are doing a complete house cleaning.

If he had played one more year he would have played against 9 teams as the AL expanded for the first time the year after he retired.

Ted was also a pilot in WWII and Korea  (39 combat missions and John Glenn's wingman). He was also an expert fly fisherman.

I got to watch the Dash play the Grasshoppers on a glorious evening last June. It was pretty much sold out but there were a lot of empty seats.

Phillies are his hometown team, for sure. Harper loves playing there, right? I imagine Moreno might even have to eat some of his contract to make him more palatable to someone Trout's willing to play for.

There is a movement to get a MLB team in Raleigh, NC - the owner of the Hurricanes NHL team is very eager to make it happen.  I'm not sure how close it is to be considered by the league though.  Minor league baseball is pretty popular around the state - particularly the Durham Bulls.

A good friend of mine's son played for the Bulls this year...which is what got me to wonderin'
