For Sound Financial Pranning!
It's too bad that MLB free agency isn't in June so that Shohei could announce he's going to the Dodgers instead of the Blue Jays on June 7th.

Would Shohei, the consummate gentleman, really burden his 100M+ Japanese fans with the added travel distance to Toronto? I think not.

A huge part of paying him that much is selling tickets and marketing in Japan that doesn't have to be shared with the other owners.

He's absolutely worth 50 million a year even as just a DH.

Any rumors about the final number at this point are just that. It could be exactly $600M in the end and if I was a Jays fan:

I'm frantically searching Zillow to see if any big real estate purchases have been made. Specifically, mansions with batting cages already built in.

Maybe that's the game, sign with the Jays for $600M US so his agent can say with a straight face that he got a $1 billion contract
