LOS ANGELES - Is Shohei Ohtani being underpaid by the Los Angeles Dodgers? As crazy as that sounds, considering Ohtani had signed a $700 million contract with the Dodgers in December 2023, there's a case for the Boys in Blue's front office to be had where the team may have landed baseball's "unicorn" on a severe bargain.

It was announced shortly after the Dodgers won the World Series that their star, Shohei Ohtani, would have surgery, but when will he pitch?

The rich are getting richer as a shocking statistic shows that Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani has made the team over $100 million this year.

Ohtani would also become the 12th player in history to win at least three MVP awards. Yogi Berra, Joe DiMaggio, Roy Campanella, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle, Albert Pujols, Stan Musial, Mike Trout, Alex Rodriguez and Mike Schmidt also won three MVPs. Only one player has won more — Barry Bonds (seven).

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is a finalist for his first National League MVP award after winning the AL honor twice, joined among the top three in NL voting by New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor and Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte.
