But that hasn&#8217;t stopped him from being the biggest talking point of the 2022 offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Everything that happened this offseason has found a way to relate to Ohtani. After all, he&#8217;ll be an agent in less than a year of his freelance career and should be at the center of the biggest bidding war in MLB history.<\/p>\n<p>Teams like the Dodgers are reportedly silent this offseason as they load up their two-way superstars with massive offers next offseason. The question is, how big do they need to be?<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\"\/>\n<p>Jon Heyman of the New York Post clarified this question when he surveyed various MLB agents (except Ohtani&#8217;s agent). Here&#8217;s what some of them had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote tml-render-layout=\"inline\" class=\"m-blockquote l-inline\">\n<p>&#8220;He will definitely beat Trout and you have to go from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mike Trout signed a 12-year, $426.5 million contract with the Angels. Since then, his annual average has been surpassed by several superstars, including Aaron Judge this offseason most recently.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<blockquote tml-render-layout=\"inline\" class=\"m-blockquote l-inline\">\n<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;ll be around $500 million or so, maybe 12 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>No one in MLB has ever won $500 million, but this agent isn&#8217;t the first time Ohtani has said he&#8217;ll reach that threshold.  Here are a few more of the respondents who have $500 million projections.<\/p>\n<blockquote tml-render-layout=\"inline\" class=\"m-blockquote l-inline\">\n<p>\u201c$500 million on 13\/14 [years]\u2014 $250 million per position.  &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;475 [million] Up to 525 people in 13 seasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;11 times 50 = $550 million. It sounds crazy, but he has the ability to be a consistent 9\/10 WAR player.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It certainly looks like something with a 5 in front of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>It&#8217;s pretty insane to think one player is worth it, but Ohtani isn&#8217;t really one player. At Ohtani, he has picked up the top talent in the rotation and is sure to be a consistent player in the Cy Young Awards debate.<\/p>\n<p>Then get batting at the top of the lineup, hitting home runs consistently and sending in runners. In addition, he performs stolen bases and infield hits. He&#8217;s been a back-to-back Outstanding Designated Hitter and may need a name change after him in a few more years.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-3\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\"\/>\n<p>There&#8217;s no way to predict what someone like him will get, but it&#8217;s definitely high. At his current pace, there&#8217;s no reason he can&#8217;t fade as one of the greatest players of all time. And who wouldn&#8217;t want him on the team?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMidGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LnNpLmNvbS9tbGIvYW5nZWxzL25ld3MvYW5nZWxzLW5ld3MtbWxiLWFnZW50cy1leHBlY3Qtc2hvaGVpLW9odGFuaS10by1nZXQtcmVjb3JkLWNvbnRyYWN0LW5leHQtb2Zmc2Vhc29u0gF5aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2kuY29tL21sYi9hbmdlbHMvLmFtcC9uZXdzL2FuZ2Vscy1uZXdzLW1sYi1hZ2VudHMtZXhwZWN0LXNob2hlaS1vaHRhbmktdG8tZ2V0LXJlY29yZC1jb250cmFjdC1uZXh0LW9mZnNlYXNvbg?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Shohei Ohtani hasn&#8217;t been a free agent for another year.
