  • Agent Nez Balelo said Ohtani could have pursued a 13- to 15-year contract lasting until age 44, but chose not to risk a decline late in his career.

  • His $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers includes $680 million in deferred payments, reducing its value for the luxury-tax system to about $461 million.

  • In his first season after leaving the Los Angeles Angels, Ohtani won his third MVP award and his first World Series title.

  • Balelo said Ohtani wanted to keep the Dodgers competitive, pursue more championships and continue as a two-way player, and that the team had promised to support those aims.
  • Well, that was reckless reporting. We actually tried to let the individual know, 'No, we're not on a plane.' I felt bad for the country of Canada. I felt horrible for the organization because clearly they knew we weren't.
    — Nez Balelo, Ohtani's agent (CAA Sports' baseball division), in a discussion moderated by Ben Verlander at Sportico's Invest West conference at the Intuit Dome
