The highest-paid contract of all time with the LA Dodgers. Created a short- and long-term development plan at the age of 15. The average annual salary of the “largest contract in sports history” exceeds the entire annual salary of some clubs in over 10 years … In terms of total amount, Messi, the ‘god of soccer’, was first proposed to offer ‘deferral of payment’, consideration for the club as well.

Shohei Otani (29) created a short- and long-term plan related to self-development when he was 15 years old and a first-year high school student. He wrote down the core goal of receiving the first-choice designation from eight Japanese professional baseball teams and filled it with detailed goals and action plans needed to achieve this.

Otani's 'self-development plan' with the goal of 'No. 1 nomination' written in the middle. A short-term and long-term plan related to self-development that Shohei Ohtani wrote himself during his first year of high school. The goal of receiving the first pick from eight clubs in the Japanese professional baseball rookie draft is written right in the middle. 

What was unique was that, in addition to baseball, it did not leave out content about ‘character’ and ‘luck.’ In the 'Humanity' section, I wrote about gratitude, consideration, courtesy, and becoming a loved human being. He wrote that in order to get 'luck', you need to say hello, think positively, clean, pick up trash, read books, etc. Otani put this plan into action and devoted everything he had to baseball like a 'seeker'. And he finally became the most expensive player in the American professional baseball Major League (MLB), which is home to the world's highest level players. 카지노사이트랭크

Japanese player Ohtani, who became a free agent (FA) after playing for six seasons with the LA Angels starting in 2018, agreed to a 10-year contract with the LA Dodgers, a prestigious National League club, worth a total of $700 million (about KRW 920 billion) on the 10th. His price, which was expected to exceed $500 million for the first time in MLB history, exceeded $600 million, instantly opening the era of $700 million. Ohtani's contract far exceeds the previous record in terms of total value, the 12-year contract worth $426.5 million (approximately 563 billion won) held by Mike Trout (32, Angels). It also surpassed the 10-year $450 million (approximately KRW 594 billion) contract of Patrick Mahomes (28), a quarterback for Kansas City in the National Football League (NFL), which was the highest contract in North American professional sports history.

MLB.com and Yahoo Sports reported that “Ohtani’s contract is the largest in sports history.” In terms of total value, Otani exceeded the five-year $674 million (approximately KRW 889.7 billion) contract that 'God of Soccer' Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) signed with FC Barcelona (Spain) from 2017 to 2021. According to Yahoo Sports, Ohtani's 10-year average annual salary of $70 million (approximately 92.4 billion won) is the highest in MLB, including Cincinnati ($67.5 million), Kansas City ($67.2 million), Pittsburgh ($49.2 million), and Oakland ($33.9 million). It is more than the entire salary of some clubs.

There is no change in the fact that he will receive a total of close to 1 trillion won, but Ohtani is evaluated as being considerate of the club in this contract. Local American media such as MLB.com and The Athletic said, “The amount of money Ohtani will receive during the 10-year contract period will be significantly less than $700 million. “Ohtani first proposed to the Dodgers the ‘unprecedented deferrals,’ in which a significant amount of the annual salary is received after the end of the contract period.” It is reported that more than half of the total $700 million will be paid after the contract period ends. Deferring salary payments is not uncommon in MLB, but it is difficult to find cases where a player first proposes deferring payments. 섯다
