The Shohei Ohtani Experience

Jeff Passan and Buster discuss Shohei Ohtani signing with the Dodgers, if it really is a $700 million contract, how much money will be deferred, if Ohtani was going to the Dodgers all along, feeling bad for the Blue Jays, and the madness of trying to report the Ohtani story. Then, Hembo on nailing his January 2023 prediction of Ohtani’s valuation, how Ohtani has already earned some of his contract, what Ohtani’s signing means for baseball, and if Dave Roberts should bat Ohtani first on Opening Day. Later, Sarah Langs on exciting trio of Ohtani, Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts at the top of the Dodgers’ lineup. 5:27 Jeff Passan 33:38 Hembo 46:25 Sarah Langs 56:29 Buster & Friends on the wild weekend 1:01:39 #BleacherTweets Learn more about your ad choices.
