defer $680 million until after 2034, walter uses his life insurance cos to give ohtani a loan against the future income stream
contract is taxed by the competitive balance tax at npv not nominal value, so competitive balance tax on the contract is $45 million per year instead of $70 million
dodgers saving themselves almost half the marlins payroll in competitive balance tax annually by doing a backdoor deal. then go and sign hamamoto and diaz and tucker and every other free agent with the savings
wait until the under-the-table ohtani loan gets discovered |
