Shohei Ohtani’s contract with the Dodgers reportedly includes an opt-out clause that could be activated if either of two executives were to leave the organization before his 10-year, $700 million deal expires.
The personnel involved in the clause reportedly include Los Angeles’s controlling owner Mark Walter and president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, according to Beth Harris and Ronald Blum of the Associated Press.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported earlier on Wednesday that Ohtani’s deal with the Dodgers included an opt-out clause should specific personnel no longer be in place, but did not identify which members of the organization were tied to the clause.
