Stan Kasten: Shohei Ohtani Free Agent Negotiation 'Was Professional & Respectful'
Briefly

The Los Angeles Dodgers solidified their championship aspirations by signing Shohei Ohtani to a groundbreaking 10-year, $700 million contract, the largest in sports history. This strategic move was supported by a unified front office, reflecting a professional and respectful negotiation process. Dodgers president Stan Kasten praised Ohtani's agent for maintaining a discreet approach during free agency. Ohtani's influence extended beyond his contract, as he also played a key role in attracting fellow superstar, Roki Sasaki, thus further strengthening the Dodgers' lineup and global visibility.
Nez was completely truthful with us every step of the way. There's no reason for him not to have been.
Ohtani's boost in global attention has made the small rumors... all the more insignificant.
It was all very professional. He said, 'We want this done quietly. We don't want it to be a circus.'
