Personally, I have a hard time believing he's even going to be an extremely effective hitter his 1st year back from Tommy John surgery.

He's a left-handed batter, which means he uses his right arm for his extension and follow through. He's going to have to be very careful he doesn't hyperextend it while he's still healing from the surgery. I know it's a different motion from throwing, but he's still got to be careful.

Bryce Harper came back from Tommy John surgery in about 5 1/2 months. He hit for a decent average early on but didn't have much power for his first few months back. By the end of the season, he seemed to be back to his normal self hitting. It will be interesting to see if Ohtani has a similar recovery and if his power will also take more time to return than his hitting does.

$680 out of $700 million deferred. That's hard to believe.

That is insane amount of deferred money but he will make a ton in marketing each year.

Even Bonilla will be retired before this guy stops getting paid.

So what's the present value of the contract?

Apparently he gets the rest from 2034-2043 so not quite as long as you suggested.
