"Edwin Diaz won't receive all of his $69 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers until 2047, with the closer's deal raising deferred payment obligations for the two-time World Series champions to more than $1.06 billion due to nine players. The Dodgers are now on the hook for $1,064,500 through 2047, owed to Diaz, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Blake Snell, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, Tommy Edman, Tanner Scott and Teoscar Hernandez."
"Diaz, who gets a $9 million signing bonus on Feb. 1, receives a $14 million salary next year and $23 million in each of the following two seasons. The Dodgers will defer $4.5 million annually, with that being paid in 10 equal installments each July 1. The 2026 money is due from 2036-45, the 2027 money from 2037-46 and the 2028 money from 2038-47."
"The bulk of the Dodgers' deferred money is owed to Ohtani, who will receive $680 million in payments from 2034-43. Betts is next, with $115 million in salaries from 2033-44 and the final $5 million of his signing bonus payable from 2033-35. They are followed by Snell ($66 million from 2035-46), Freeman ($57 million from 2028-40), Smith ($50 million from 2034-43), Edman ($25 million from 2037-44), Scott ($21 million 2035-46) and Hernández ($32 million from 2030-39)."
Edwin Díaz's $69 million Dodgers contract includes deferred payments that extend through 2047. The Dodgers' total deferred obligations to nine players exceed $1.06 billion through 2047, with peak annual liabilities of $102.3 million in 2038 and 2039. Díaz receives a $9 million signing bonus, a $14 million salary in the next season, and $23 million in each of the following two seasons, with $4.5 million deferred annually paid in ten equal July installments. Shohei Ohtani accounts for the largest deferred commitment at $680 million from 2034-43, followed by Mookie Betts and several other players.
