   than A-Rod's Yankees deal.   
   > 1) Ohtani doesn't get the 680 million at the end of the contract though. He   
   gets 68 million per year for another ten years.....some people are forgetting   
   that.   
      
   I did not forget that. I took that into account - 2 million/year for the first   
   ten years, then 68 million/year for the next ten.   
      
   And I was not basing it on the value of the money against inflation; my   
   numbers are based on both of them receiving that year's money and then   
   immediately investing it at some fixed interest rate. I got a rate of about   
   10.3% per year where the two ended    
   up the same after 20 years.
