Crazy Stats - Tucker’s four years 240 million is fully guaranteed, he gets a 64 M signing bonus up front, and he can opt out after two years or three years! That is a great deal!
A small piece of it is deferred, so it comes out to 57 M per year, the highest in MLB, higher than Ohtani and Juan Soto.
• $30M deferred ($10M each of 2027, 2028, 2029)
• Deferrals lower the present date value to $228M ($57M per year)
His agent, Casey Close, just became the new hot agent, sheesh.
Almost all of Ohtani's 70 million per year is deferred until 2034 and beyond so his is valued at 46 M per year. Juan Soto's 15 years and 765 million puts him at 51 M per year, no deferrals.
King Tuck rules, and able to opt out if he thinks he can get more in two years.
The DAMN DODGERS just set a new high bar in ridiculous!!!
