Most of Shohei’s contract is deferred so he is definitely going to have been underpaid when the deferrals kick in but the purchasing power of those dollars has drastically declined. At least he can relocate out of California to save some money on state taxes.
But, I think most of these star players earn much more through their endorsements. They can easily catch on with the ever rising taxes and California expenses.

Especially Ohtani because he gets endorsements in Japan and the US. I am not saying he is going to be hurting. Just pointing out that likely the deferred money will be worth a lot less than it is right now.

That's surely is the case. I agree. I'm just saying that Ohtani or any other star player won't mind whatever they get paid. Pay is something necessary for less famous players. But overall, it's a nice article I could find for today.
