Re: SCURVY DOGS - SP Shohei Ohtani Reply #11 – February 13, 2019, 07:41:04 AM 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 Quote Selected

I placed a contract value on him much higher than this. Maybe it's just a Chicago thing. Quote Selected
Re: SCURVY DOGS - SP Shohei Ohtani - $9.25M/2021 Reply #13 – February 13, 2019, 03:44:22 PM 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! Quote Selected

That comment was made before the auctions started.But yeah, it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Quote Selected
