Luck? Any team would have done the same if they could lol

Shohei, without the stress of pitching is probably the best hitter in baseball.

2024 Arizona Diamondbacks - Wild Card or Bust (and that's OK)!

Agreed. If he was as good of a pitcher as he is hitter I would be significantly more worried. He can be pitched around. Mookie and Freeman are aging, fast. IMO.

Edit: don't know if it was a for sure thing about his pitching status moving forward. :/

 

[Bobster]

$70 million a year is a lot for a DH if he doesn't regain his form on the mound.

When the Dbacks beat LA again in the playoffs, it will be even sweeter.

Ohtani to the Dodgers is just wrong.

 

[Dback Jon]

Ohtani to the Dodgers is just wrong.

The Dodgers are just wrong




All LA teams are just wrong!

This isn't correct for the state portion. Players are taxed per game check and it varies on the state the game is played in. Some states don't have state income tax.

Athletes must file returns in all of the jurisdictions where they play that have an income tax. Careful tax planning can minimize an athlete's state income tax, but for many athletes, there are more important things in life than minimizing taxes

There is also a limit on Medicare tax and is only taxed on the first 200k earned.

But none of this matter, Ohtani can file as a nonresident alien (NRA) and avoid paying that high of an amount.

Generally, if you are a NRA athlete or entertainer performing independent personal services or participating in athletic events in the United States, you are subject to the following special tax and withholding rules.

• Payments to NRA athletes and entertainers are subject to special withholding rules. Refer to Artists and Athletes (Income Code 20) in Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities.
• A Central Withholding Agreement (CWA) is a tool that can help reduce withholding for NRA athletes and entertainers who plan to work in the United States. A CWA provides for the correct amount of withholding based upon net income.
