Some interesting elements of Ohtani's contract have come to light:

- The Dodgers have to put $44 million annually into an escrow account to fund the deferrals. Therefore, the total value of Ohtani's contract when accounting for the deferrals is $437,830,563. That's...less than I would have thought, TBH.
- The Dodgers' annual charge toward their competitive balance payroll tax will still be about $46 million.
- He has a no-trade clause.
- He can opt out if owner Mark Walter or Pres/Baseball Ops Andrew Friedman are no longer with the team.
- He gets a suite at Dodger Stadium for all regular season and postseason games.
- He will donate up to 1% of his deal to the team's charitable foundation (standard free agent language)
