Shohei Ohtani's unique contract structure with the Los Angeles Dodgers has been a major topic of discussion. The contract, which includes a significant deferred salary, has allowed the Dodgers to make a big trade and save on state taxes. Ohtani's impact on the team has been praised by various sources, with Tyler Glasnow, a new Dodgers recruit, expressing his admiration for the team's financial resources. Ohtani's record-breaking contract has drawn attention, with experts highlighting potential financial risks and tax benefits. The Dodgers' president, Stan Kasten, revealed details of the intense process that led to Ohtani joining the team, including breaking a long-standing rule to offer a no-trade clause. The impact of Ohtani's contract and the trade involving Glasnow on the Dodgers' roster and future plans has also been discussed.

Dodger team president Stan Kasten told me he only learned Ohtani picked LA one minute before the world found out���among other details of the “rollercoaster” process. Plus why he broke his own rule to give the first no-trade clause of his 30+ year career: https://t.co/4GBchezZCT https://t.co/G2VUnS4sqD

"This is somewhere I've wanted to be my entire life." RHP Tyler Glasnow could have positioned himself for a bigger payday in free agency winter, but when the #Dodgers offered a four-year, $111.5-million extension to come home, there was no need for greed. https://t.co/UNGxzGv0BF

Tyler Glasnow mentioned liking Shawn Green when growing up, but Clayton Kershaw was his favorite #Dodgers player. "I remember watching him when I was younger and being like, 'How is this guy in the big leagues at 20?' I watched him a ton. He's my favorite."
Tyler Glasnow confirms Shohei Ohtani sent him a video, promised to hit HRs for him if he signed an extension and joined the #Dodgers. "It was awesome, so cool to get that video...It definitely added a lot of points for me to go to the Dodgers. I think his recruitment worked."
Tyler Glasnow said he feels there's plenty of similarities between the Rays and Dodgers... "I guess the only difference," he said, "is the Dodgers have a lot more money."

When I first heard Ohtani deferred his salary, I thought the Dodgers were crazy - another Bonilla Day fiasco. But it's no simple deferment so he just saved $100 million in state tax. He'll be retired. States can't tax retirement income on non-residents. https://t.co/zASUoOhwvA
