"The Dodgers' valuation of Ohtani was made clear through their then-record-setting contract of 10-years and $700 million. The terms were pitched by Ohtani's camp, and a structure the Dodgers were more than happy to agree to. In his first two seasons, Ohtani has already managed to set new franchise and league records, helped deliver a World Series title and is four wins away from another."
"I just don't think the human brain can comprehend what he does and how difficult it is and how elite he is at both. And the passion he has for hitting and the passion he has for pitching. It doesn't seem like there's enough passion to go around, but there is with him. And he really cares about being great at everything he does."
Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers under terms pitched by his camp. He set new franchise and MLB records in his first two seasons, won three MVP awards, helped deliver a World Series title, and produced decisive postseason performances, including a near single-handed win in NLCS Game 4. Dodgers president Andrew Friedman describes Ohtani as underrated, marveling at his elite two-way abilities, deep passion for both hitting and pitching, focused rehab, and relentless drive to pitch exceptionally well. Ohtani remains a unique, game-changing talent.
