Here's how to get Ohtani.
1. Get Yamamoto first. Blow him away with six years and $200 million.
2. Key point; Offer $550 million for 10 years. First year, $50 million. Second year, $70 million. Third year, $70 million. The rest prorated, and Ohtani gets to opt out after the second and third years.
Problem is 50 and 70 million make it pretty difficult for you to do much else without going way over the luxury tax.
They have a lot of tradeable players. They may have to get rid of some prospects with players who have large salaries.
Not sure I’m understanding your meaning. In any event, there’s no way they make that kind of offer nor anyway he’d except it. So, somewhat of a moot point.
Ohtani might accept it. Supposedly, he's looking at short term options. The comp package I suggested has elements that are both short-term and long-term in nature. And the Giants need something to separate themselves from the pack. What's your suggestion?
