Ohtani Joins Dodgers for $700M; Cubs and Other Teams Eye Future Moves

As the dust settles on Ohtani's record-breaking deal, attention turns to the potential big earners of the 2024 offseason.

Shohei Ohtani has signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, leaving the Chicago Cubs out in the cold.
The Cubs, under the leadership of Jed Hoyer, have been criticized for their risk-averse approach to free agency.
Despite missing out on Ohtani, the Cubs are expected to make significant moves in the offseason, with Tyler Glasnow, Rhys Hoskins, and Shoto Imanaga among potential targets.
Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, Gleyber Torres, Shane Bieber, Walker Buehler, Corbin Burnes, Max Fried, Tyler Glasnow, and Zack Wheeler are among the players who could be looking for big contracts in the 2024 offseason.
Juan Soto, now with the Yankees, is expected to command a contract potentially exceeding half a billion dollars if he has a strong 2024 season.
