ESPN says Shohei Ohtani has signed with the Dodgers for 10 years and $700,000,000. Biggest contract in MLB history.
On average, a year has 365.2425 days and 87,658.2 hours. With a salary of $700,000,000, Shohei Ohtani will earn $7,985.56 every hour of every day for ten years!
Ohtani had surgery in October and will not be able to pitch until 2025. Next year he will be just a DH.
The Dodgers have won their first 3 exhibition games. Ohtani did not play in any of them. They spent $700 million to get him and maybe they don't need him as much as they thought.
Ohtani finally played today. He hit a two-run home run in his third at-bat. Dodgers have scored 47 runs in six games and are 5-0. One game was a tie and does not count in the standings.
Mays played in 2,992 major-league games and had 10,924 at-bats, 3,293 hits, 660 home runs, 2,068 runs scored, 1,909 RBIs, 339 stolen bases and a .301 batting average. He won 12 consecutive Gold Glove awards and played in 24 consecutive All-Star Games.
