He’ll receive a signing bonus of some size (up to about $10 million) depending on which club he ultimately joins and then sign a standard uniform player contract that binds him to the arbitration system until he accrues six years of service time.
That means that, as a rookie next year, Ohtani will be scheduled to make something like $545,000, the league minimum for 2018. And he won’t be in line for a real market-rate salary until after the 2023 season. If Otani stayed in Japan for two more years and stayed healthy, he’d be able to land the monster free-agent deal four years sooner. There’s no way around it: coming over this winter will cost Otani a lot of money.

It seems crazy that he just won't wait a year. Seems like he is giving up hundreds of millions.

I'd have to assume he has tons of endorsements already lined up. It won't make up the total amount of money lost, but it can compensate some of it.

Makes me think he has major markets targeted already where he will make a ton in endorsements
MLB players don't typically make a ton in endorsements in the US though and I would think he makes a lot endorsement wise in Japan already

If he was on my team, I'd offer him a contract and tell him"you will start every 5th day and dh on non pitching days. On pitching days we will still use a dh. Zero chance of playing in the field at a position unless it's an emergency."
With as much rest as aj hinch gives 20'year olds he shouldn't come to the Astros as much as I would love him to.

Would he be eligible for Super 2 status?

Are people thinking he's coming as a pitcher or position player?
I guess in the AL he could pitch and DH

If he is this good why didn't he just come to a Juco in the US for one year.
