Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 4890126, member: 1969"] So I was incorrect in my assessment above. The salary hit on Ohtani's contract for CBT (luxury tax) purposes is around $46M, and not $2M. They do a fair value calculation. In the end I don't think this is significantly egregious cap circumvention by the Dodgers. Given the deferred structure of the contract the fair value at signing to me isn't far off from $460M that it has been assigned. I do assume that Shohei Ohtani plans to live outside of California when the contract is done, which will reduce his income tax hit. But that's not a baseball problem. [/QUOTE]
