No one should be surprised by this bidding price.

Easily the highest risk signing I’ve ever made (and that says something). There’s so many ways this could go wrong. But I told Brent in the offseason that I thought Ohtani would get $15 mill in FA, so I got him for less than I expected.

3 years please

That's a true statement. I placed a contract value on him much higher than this. Maybe it's just a Chicago thing.

I could see $15M if he proved a full season of value.  Injuries and not enough cash available kept me from bidding.  Maybe 3 years from now I'll be singing a different tune here, but I think $9.25M is a bit high.  I think I'd value him around $7M annually, personally.  I guess we'll find out!

oh, I agree that after seeing how some of the market has actually played out $15 mill was out of bounds. That comment was made before the auctions started.

But yeah, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
