This is a special video ONLY message. Why the Astros Won't Do an Ohtani Deal.
Here is a link to the table I showed.
The Forbes Article
Here is my calculation of the Ohtani deal @ 3%
Here is a theoretical Bregman or Altuve deal and how it could look 75% deferred.
Would Crane REALLY want to do that deal for $4.65M AAV benefit? I don't think so.
As far as the players go, if you think the Ohtani deal is a great option, go tell your boss tomorrow to defer 97% of your 2024 salary.
