Shohei Ohtani Signs Record-Breaking $700M Contract with Dodgers

Shohei Ohtani, a two-time AL MVP and a unique two-way star in modern baseball, has agreed to a record-breaking 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The contract is valued at $700 million, making it the largest in sports history. The deal includes a $70 million average salary, which is the highest in baseball history and 62% above the previous high. This agreement surpasses the previous record set by Mike Trout's $426.5 million, 12-year deal.

The deal comes after days of speculation about where Ohtani would continue his career. He has redefined modern baseball with his exceptional performance both as a hitter and a pitcher. Despite his individual success, Ohtani has yet to make the playoffs or play on a winning team in the majors. The agreement also includes deferred money to lower the Dodgers' luxury tax payroll, reflecting a commitment from both sides to long-term success.

Ohtani joins a lineup that includes Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, further strengthening the Dodgers' team. The contract is 64% higher than the previous record in baseball, reflecting the value that Ohtani brings to the team and the sport. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Ohtani are looking forward to a successful partnership over the next decade.
