Looks like no interest, they say he makes $50 million/yr in endorsements.

 

 

When Shohei Ohtani agreed to his record-breaking, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, the deal reportedly came with "unprecedented deferrals."

On Monday, we learned what those deferrals entail. Per The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, Ohtani is deferring all but $2 million of his $70 million average annual salary until the contract's conclusion in 2034. That means he won't see $680 million of the salary for more than a decade.

Per the report, the deferred portion of the contract will be paid to Ohtani without interest from 2034 to 2043. The deferrals were reportedly Ohtani's idea. The Dodgers officially announced the signing on Monday, but not the terms.

Per The Athletic, Ohtani is believed to make $50 million annually in non-baseball income. That on top of his previous endorsement income and the roughly $42 million he made playing for the Los Angeles Angels presumably make it considerably easier for Ohtani to put off receiving $680 million in salary.

The Orange County Register reports that other Dodgers stars have reached similar deferral agreements for considerably less money. Per the report, $57 million of Freddie Freeman's six-year, $162 million deal is deferred from 2028 to 2040. Mookie Betts' 12-year, $365 million contract includes $115 million in deferred salary that will be paid from 2033 to 2044.
