‘Excited by $470,000’: ‘It’s more valuable than any other money for Ohtani… LAD win dividend of $46.67 million is the highest ever
The Los Angeles Dodgers will pocket more than 46 million dollars in postseason dividends. Shohei Ohtani will also be thrilled to receive his first autumn baseball bonus since entering the Major League.
The MLB Commissioner’s Office announced on the 27th (Korea time) that the amount of income earned from this year’s postseason to clubs was $129.1 million, the highest ever. The previous postseason dividend record was $107.8 million last year.
Major League Baseball has been expanding its postseason reach to 12 teams since 2022, increasing its dividend payments significantly from the previous one.
The Dodgers, the winner of the World Series, will take $46.67 million, and the runner-up New York Yankees will receive $30.98 million.
Dodgers players each receive $477,441 (about $667 million), which is smaller than the amount received by the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers, the winners of the 2022 and 2023 World Series. Houston had $516,347 per player and Texas had $506,263 per player, respectively.
Yankees players’ share was $354,572 per individual, up from $313,634 received by last year’s runner-up Arizona Diamondbacks players.
The Cleveland Guardians’ dividends per player for this postseason are $182,663, the New York Mets $179,948, the Detroit Tigers $55,729, Philadelphia $52,278, the Kansas City Royals $45,9583, the San Diego Padres $11,870, the Houston Astros $17,749, and the Milwaukee Brewers $110,13 per player.
The postseason of 카지노사이트 dividend distributed to the club is set at 60% of the total sales of tickets for the World Series and League Championship Series 1st to 4th games, Division Series 1st to 3rd games, and Wild Card Series 1st to 2nd games. Among them, the World Series winners will have 36%; the runner-up team 24%; the League Championship Series eliminated team will have 12% each; the Division Series eliminated 4 teams will have 3.25% each; and the Wild Card Series eliminated 4 teams will have 0.75%.
It is all the more meaningful that Ohtani will receive a postseason dividend bonus for the first time since his Major League debut. Ohtani has never played in the postseason since his Major League debut with the Los Angeles Angels in 2018. The Angels have failed to pass the threshold of fall baseball for 10 consecutive years since 2014.
When Ohtani chose the Dodgers last winter, he asked the Dodgers to maintain his winning capacity, adding that he would receive 680 million dollars, or 97.1 percent of the 700 million dollars contract, over 10 years after the contract expires. However, Ohtani lifted his dream of winning the World Series trophy as well as the postseason in the first season of his transfer to the Dodgers.
Otani reportedly earned more than 60 million dollars by appearing in various commercials and sponsorship, in addition to his set annual salary of 2 million dollars. However, the 470,000 dollars he will receive this time is more special than any other money.
