I am happy for Ippei as he can double his income. 

Or the Dodgers pay half as much.

Does Yamamoto come with Ippei included, or is Ippei sold separately?

Yamamoto led the attack on Pearl Harbor. This feels similar.

Hopefully we can P-38 this one, too.

Maybe not radioactive but if we’re talking dead Japanese strewn everywhere, obviously.

something more like this, but in LA?

Dodgers spending $1 billion on two players, one of whom is unproven on MLB level. Good luck with that one!

I take it you mean ElAttrache will use this as a scalpel on Yamamoto's first TJ surgery??

 

Maybe he and Ohtani can share that "Buy 6, get one free" TJ punch card?

I'm sure it would be Hiroshima on August 7, the day after it was bombed. Nagasaki wasn't bombed until August 9.

Baseball needs a salary cap and floor or it's going to be a dying sport. 

That being said, I'm jealous as fuck of the Dodgers as a Mariner fan.

I think you need to relax.  Ender has been posting on here for a lot longer than you have.  Don't get all pissy because some folks said something you didn't like about...Cris Cyborg, of all people.

Then you should know who Ender is, and you should probably just chill out with whatever is going on with your aggro attitude today.

So what made you then to decide to leave for a decade and then come back just to be an asshole?

Ok, so in the last 20 years you have had plenty of time to grow up and not be an asshat.

Ender is good people. We don't really have any "other team trolls" on the site anymore.

Makes me remember Stamm. Poor dude.

After Ohtani's salary deferral,I think MLB should institute a new rule that limits deferring any player contract to a maximum of 10%.

Or all deferred money must include interest or it’s a 100% hit against the cap, which would mean $70 million a year now. Last could be it’s a hit against the tax during the contract AND during deferrals.

Pretty sure there's a set interest rate that's factored in when figuring out the cap hit in present day value.  It makes no sense to take a double hit during the contract and the deferrals. 

Seems like most folks on here are really only upset about this because it was the Dodgers.  If the Angels had signed Ohtani to the exact same deal, I bet most folks would be praising Perry and Arte for properly working the system that's in place.

But if the Deffered money had interest then it would be $70 million hit each year.

Pretty much all of baseball is pissed at the Dodgers finding a loophole, kind of like when the Angels gave Pujols a personal services contract. MLB reacted quickly after the season started and shut down personal services contracts, I think deferrals will get the same treatment.
