I thought it was fun when they all tracked that random private jet thinking it was Ohtani

Highest value sports contract ever. Wow. He surpasses Messi's soccer contract with Barcelona.

To be fair, the contracts of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema are almost three times bigger in terms of actual salary, Ohtani's contract is more valuable because in football one doesn't usually get contracts that are that long  

 

Which isn't to say Ohtani's contract is insane of course, probably only Ronaldo, Benzema and Messi have a significantly higher salary in the entire sports world, but yeah, that's it

No, I always thought he would be a Dodger until yesterday when two reputable sources said he was on his way to Toronto along with the whole plane drama.

 

Congratulations!
