Shohei Ohtani's inaugural season with the Los Angeles Dodgers was nothing short of extraordinary, achieving significant milestones such as becoming the first player to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single MLB season. Following his $700 million, 10-year contract signed in December 2023, Ohtani's agent, Nez Balelo, noted they could have pursued a longer contract, but Ohtani wished to maintain his elite performance level. Despite the record-breaking contract, Balelo expressed no regrets about the deal, emphasizing Ohtani's championship victory and alignment with the right team for his career success.
"We could have went to 13, 14, 15 years. But Shohei wanted to always kind of keep the integrity of where he's at as a player."
"We wouldn't do anything different. He won a championship. He went to the right team. No regrets."
