Doesn't this also gently caress over the other players? Isn't the Qualifying Offer based off of the top 100 MLB contracts by average annual value?

IcePhoenix posted:I have PM'd a mod asking for assistance I called my mom because she studied this, and we did some math. He's gonna get like $420M present value, but then I realized: how are they gonna settle up with a debt that's 15-20% of the franchise value? Shohei Ohtani is going to own a stake in the Dodgers franchise, eventually. I'd bet my life on it.

Eric the Mauve posted:Is LeBron James an actual billionaire at this point? He's made $430 million in salary and probably more than that in endorsements/etc. but I have no idea what his burn rate is. Messi is probably around $1B just in salary by now. Probably not quite becuase of taxes but he's definitely made more on endorsements than he has in salary

But again, all of this is simpler to think of in terms of the net present value. If he signed a 10 year deal with no deferrals for $437M (breaking Trout’s record) would we be saying he hosed over other players?

Intruder posted:Elizabeth Warren is a useless nobody loser whose greatest accomplishment was helping Biden gently caress over Bernie I should clarify: I think this may result in politicians publicly saying baseball is doing bad things and should be held accountable. I don't think it guarantees any sort of action, especially since a significant amount of voters choose to be represented by people who think billionaires should be able to do anything they want. I say this as someone who couldn't understand why the federal government would give a poo poo about Barry's steroids.

People don't understand that the increased salaries are a response to the higher revenue from tickets/tv deals/concessions, not the other way around

looking forward to a decade of "it's not technically cheating" from Dodgers fans that no one else buys only way it could be better is if Ohtani can't pitch anymore so they're paying the highest salary in baseball for a DH
