Dodgers owe Shohei Ohtani $680 million in deferred payments after 2033

Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in December 2023, agreeing to a total of $700 million. Currently, he earns $2 million per year until the contract expires in 2033. Following that, he will receive $68 million annually for 10 years as deferred payments. This contract positions Ohtani as one of the highest-paid athletes, second only to Juan Soto's deal with the New York Mets. The Dodgers' contract commitments raise questions about the team's financial strategy moving forward.
