In order to allow the Dodgers to invest more in the squad surrounding him, he sought to reduce his competitive balance tax number. Ohtani receives deferred pay in its whole. As of right now, the deferrals&#8217; precise terms are unknown.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Shohei Ohtani is signing with the Los Angeles Dodgers <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/22T8bsKmlZ\">pic.twitter.com\/22T8bsKmlZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1733579321657450964?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 9, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The average yearly worth of a player&#8217;s contract determines his competitive balance tax (CBT) number; hence, a straight 10-year deal worth $700 million would carry a payroll-busting $70 million CBT hit for 10 years. Deferrals lower the present-day value of the contract and thus the CBT hit because $1 today is worth more than $1 tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Shohei Ohtani has excelled not just baseball players but also other athletes. His current contract is more than that of Lionel Messi, who signed a $674 million deal with FC Barcelona, and quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs ($450 million).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HERE COMES THE MONEY! \ud83d\udcb0<\/p>\n<p>Shohei Ohtani&#39;s contract will be the largest contract in American sports history \ud83e\udd2f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YYPNIYFRbZ\">pic.twitter.com\/YYPNIYFRbZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FOX Sports: MLB (@MLBONFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBONFOX\/status\/1733582034885324902?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 9, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This illustrates the potential that Ohtani has for the team.
