I presume that those future obligations would be entered as liabilities on the balance sheet and upon sales would figure into the valuation in the way any other debt would.  The Dodgers are estimated to be worth about $8 Billion, and depending how far in the future those payments are, they may be heavily discounted.  Interestingly, Ohtani’s contract has now provision for interest and is not adjusted for inflation (at least that’s what the AI summary says), so if we have higher than expected inflation between now and the deferral dates, it will eat into its value heavily. 

Bobby Bonilla’s $1.2 million annual payday from the Mets has been steadily eaten away by inflation, and its real value is now only about 2/3 what it was when he started receiving the annuity in 2011.  The $1.2 million is 2026 is worth only about $800k in 2011 dollars.  Not that he’s complaining, but at this point it is about a rounding error for the Mets.
