Shohei Otani

Otani told Yamamoto, “If there’s something you don’t understand, just ask me.”

Pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s words to pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who was aiming to transfer to the major leagues, have become a hot topic. During a meeting with the Dodgers, Yamamoto received advice from Ohtani, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask.” Fans also took note of Otani’s kind words, saying, “Ohtani is a kind person” and “His humanity is wonderful.”

Yamamoto appeared on MLB Network’s broadcast after the Dodgers’ joining press conference. When asked about Ohtani’s recruitment, he revealed that “(Otani) told him to make the best decision for any team.If you don’t understand something, ask him.”

Otani did not force himself to invite him, but instead gave him advice out of respect for Yamamoto. When the American media outlet Dodgers Nation took note of this statement, it said, “He’s a top-notch person. This is the right way to do it.” “Ohtani is the GOAT (greatest of all time) and someone who inspires everyone.” “It’s hard to imagine humans being hated,” one commenter said.

Noah Kamrath, a reporter for the American sports magazine Sports Illustrated, also posted Yamamoto’s comments on X. His fans praised him, saying, “That’s why I like Ohtani,” and “He’s a star player, but he’s humble and more considerate than anyone else.”

Trout and Judge, who have the highest contract value other than Otani, have the least experience in the world.

The 10-year, $700 million (approximately 99.6 billion yen) contract that pitcher Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers is not only the largest contract in MLB history, but also the largest in North American sports history. In recent years, there have been a number of large, long-term contracts in MLB, but are these players shining as the best in the world?

The highest sums excluding Ohtani are the nine-year contract that outfielder Aaron Judge signed with the Yankees in December 2022 and the $360 million 10-year contract that outfielder Mike Trout signed with the Angels in March 2019. (approximately 51,199.2 million yen). Neither team has the best experience in the world, and the Angels have missed the playoffs for nine straight years.

Other infielders such as Mets infielder Francisco Lindor and Padres infielder Fernando Tatis Jr. have also signed large four-year contracts worth more than $340 million (approximately 48,354,800,000 yen), but the world’s No. I have no experience. Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper also signed a large contract worth 330 million dollars (approximately 46,932.6 million yen) for 13 years in February 2019. He played in the World Series in 2022, but lost to the Astros in tears.

After signing a large contract, the Rangers’ infielder Corey Seager was the sixth player in the world to become the world’s number one player, excluding Ohtani. In December 2021, he signed a 10-year, $325 million (approximately 46,221.5 million yen) contract with the Rangers, who won the World Series this season.

Every year, out of 30 teams, only one team wins the World Series. In addition, many of the large-scale contracts were concluded after 2019, so there is a strong possibility that it will become the world’s number one in the future. On the other hand, it is also true that large contracts put pressure on each team’s payroll.

Otani has an unusual contract in which 97% of the total contract amount, or 680 million dollars (approximately 96.7 billion yen), will be paid in arrears. Will he ever receive the world’s No. 1 ring, which he was unable to achieve with the Angels?

Kelly, who had re-signed with the Dodgers for a new one-year deal of $8 million (approximately 1.15 billion yen) this off-season, will give up his uniform number 17, which he has worn since 2019, due to the addition of Ohtani. Ta. However, his wife Ashley welcomed the move. On the 11th (12th of the same day), she held a campaign called “Ohtake17” to hand over her uniform number “17” to Ohtani, including turning her back to her husband and writing “KELLY 99” with a marker pen.

On this day, Ashley updated her Instagram again. When I opened the door to my house, a new Porsche was parked outside. Her husband Kelly told her, “This is yours. Shohei wants to give you a Porsche,” and she looked surprised.

Dodgers: “Revenue will increase by 15 billion yen to 20 billion yen annually”

Is pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year contract worth $700 million (approximately 101.5 billion yen) profitable for the Dodgers? According to an estimate released on the 22nd by Professor Emeritus Katsuhiro Miyamoto of Kansai University, even if the Dodgers pay an average of $70 million (approximately 10.15 billion yen), the Dodgers will “receive an annual increase of 15 billion to 20 billion yen in revenue.” And so.

On this day, Professor Miyamoto announced the economic effects of Ohtani’s transfer to the Dodgers. He calculated that even after taking into account the 97% deferred payment contract, the figure would be 53.352 billion yen. In the report, the professor said, “If Ohtani plays two-way from his second year onwards and plays without injury for 10 years, and the Dodgers compete for the championship every season and win once every few years, they will be able to make a profit.” ‘I think so,’ he speculated.

The addition of Otani will increase the ability to attract spectators, and it is said that Otani’s sponsorship contract fees, advertising fees for stadiums, merchandise sales, and a huge amount of broadcasting rights fees will be added to the team. The professor estimates that the increase in income due to these measures will be between 15 billion yen and 20 billion yen annually. It will increase from 150 billion yen to 200 billion yen in 10 years. He announced, “I think it would be profitable to pay Otani 105 billion yen over 10 years.”

Glasnow looks back on the “recruitment video” from Shohei Otani

Pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who was traded to the Dodgers, appeared on the American podcast program “Foul Territory” on the 19th (20th Japan time). When asked about the “recruitment video” sent by his colleague, pitcher Shohei Ohtani, during transfer negotiations, he answered, “It’s a cool thing. I’m on the same team as him, and on top of that, he even sent me a video. It’s pretty crazy. “No,” he said, looking satisfied.

Opening mask, perfect game… “Frustrating season” with record-setting, 18-year-old Torao Matsukawa’s struggles

Glasnow, 30, has pitched in 21 games this season with a 10-7 record and a 3.53 ERA. He is expected to be a part of the starting rotation, and the Dodgers signed him to a new five-year contract worth $136.5 million (approximately 19.4 billion yen). During negotiations with the team, Otani sent him a video message saying, “I want to hit a home run for you.” “When I woke up one morning, there was a message from the GM (with a recruiting video of Otani), and there was an (English) translation at the bottom,” he said, looking back on that day.

Glasnow also seemed to agree, “(Transferring to the Dodgers) is a big addition.” When interviewer Eric Kratz suggested that Ohtani’s video could be reused to recruit other players, Glasnow replied, “That’s a great idea. (The video) is on my phone.” He burst out laughing.
