re: 680 million of Ohtani’s 700 mill contract is deferred until it’s over.

I haven’t done it but there’s simply no way the PV calc comes out to a number that’s considered good for him when you consider what he was expected to get going into free agency. If he values winning that much to structure it like this then good for him. It sounds like he wanted to do it this way. But that’s putting a lot of faith in an ownership and front office to spend money you are effectively forfeiting wisely
