The Los Angeles Dodgers unique financial strategy, involving significant player salary deferrals, has come under scrutiny with their recent signing of closer Edwin Diaz. The teams future payroll commitments, totaling $1.64 billion through 2047, are largely due to superstar Shohei Ohtanis groundbreaking contract. Ohtanis deal, worth $700 million, is mostly deferred, with payments from 2034 to 2043. This strategy allows the Dodgers to manage their immediate payroll while committing to future payouts, attracting top talent, and leveraging their market success and international markets.
