Ohtani opened the WBC with three hits and a grand slam. The Dodgers restricted him to DH only, which is the smartest risk management move of the spring. Fans panicking about injury are hedging against the wrong threat.

Everyone is arguing about $700 million. They are arguing about the wrong number. After deferrals and time value, Ohtani's contract costs the Dodgers roughly $46 million per year against payroll while generating $200 million in new revenue. That is not hype. That is the most structurally efficient deal in professional sports history.
