"MLB's Insane Deferred Contracts: Ohtani's Risky $680 Million Deal"

Shohei Ohtani has signed a historic 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, with over 97% of the amount deferred until after the contract expires in 2033. This means Ohtani will be making just $2 million per year during the contract period. Other notable deferred contracts in MLB history include Ken Griffey Jr., Chris Davis, Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, and Bobby Bonilla, with the latter receiving annual payments until 2035.
