When Shohei Ohtani agreed to his record-breaking, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday, the deal reportedly came with "unprecedented deferrals."

On Monday, we learned what those deferrals entail. Per The Athletic's Fabian Ardaya, Ohtani is deferring all but $2 million of his $70 million average annual salary until the contract's conclusion in 2034.
