Let's be honest, would you rather have this deal or the Shohei deal, which is 10 year 700m (forget the deferred, they have to pay it all out eventually)
do i have the homer goggles on here, or do we say our deal is better?
Shohei isn't gonna pitch next season, and that's comical money for all of a players 30s, what happens if he hits the wall at 34
Yes.

No idea how his offense will play out in MLB but he is a 5 tool potential star in his prime
Finally some excitement added to the roster
You and Garce are aware one of the 5 tools is hitting for power, right?

I would rather have Shohei but what are you going to do? That ship has sailed.
Ohtani camp presented Giants the exact deal that Ohtani ended up finalizing with LA. "We were agreeable to it," Zaidi said. Then Giants were told it was in Ohtani's hands. Obviously, Shohei picked Dodgers.

at that ridiculous price? maybe revisit in 4-5 years, when Shohei is running into a wall known as father time, and our guy is still on contract and not yet 30 or barely..
At the price for Shohei, he basically has to be the two way stud for most all a decade, if he's pitching or hitting only as skills erode, it's a gigantic overpay, next year he's not pitching already, just a fat contract DH

I was willing to do it without deferment. The deferment makes the deal a no brainer. The giants would make 10x that amount off of Shohei over 20 years during the span of the contract.
