Quick Glance: Shohei Ohtani’s $700M Dodgers Contract: The Real Value Revealed
- Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers seems like a record-breaker at first, but its actual value is likely around $462 million in today's terms.
- Financial experts estimate that due to compound inflation and Ohtani's agreement to defer massive sums of interest-free cash, the deal is still a record breaker.
- The deal originally reported as a $700 million, 10-year deal drastically tops all previous MLB contracts in terms of total compensation and average annual value.
- If the rate of inflation is 3% through 2043, then Ohtani's total before-tax pay would be about $462 million in 2024 value, with the final payment of $68 million worth only about $38.77 million in current buying power.
