If $700 million wasn't enough, Shohei Ohtani's record-setting contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers could also include a bonus: skipping most of California's famously high income taxes.

The Dodgers will pay Ohtani $20 million over the next decade, when the baseball star will be hitting and, health permitting, pitching for the National League powerhouse.
