Shohei Ohtani's $700 million contract calls for him to be paid only $2 million a year for the next 10 seasons, with $680 million deferred until the end of the deal, sources confirm to ESPN. The CBT hit on the contract is going to be around $46 million, a huge discount for L.A.

First thing I realized covering the Olympics: if an athlete lays down a personal best and doesn’t medal … I mean, you get one chance every four years and are the BEST you have EVER been on the day that counts? I don’t care whether you medal or not. That’s clutch.

I get Chris Woodward's reaction to the Fernando Tatis, Jr. swing. It's ridiculous, but I get it. But for Tatis' manager Jayce Tingler or the G.M. to do anything but rise to his defence? I'd fire them. I can get a thousand Jayce Tinglers. To throw Tatis under the bus is bullshit.
