Shohei Ohtani's $700M Dodgers Contract Proves Highly Profitable

In his debut year, Ohtani generates $120 million in revenue for the Dodgers, raising questions about his value.

Ohtani's unique contract structure pays him $2 million annually for the first decade, with deferred payments of $68 million per year thereafter.
The Dodgers have reportedly earned $120 million from Ohtani's presence through increased sponsorships, merchandise sales, and ticket revenue.
Despite his substantial contract, Ohtani's financial impact suggests he may be underpaid considering the team's significant return on investment.
Ohtani's impressive on-field performance includes a historic season with over 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases, contributing to a World Series win.
Following shoulder surgery, Ohtani is expected to return for spring training, but his pitching debut may be delayed.
