Скачать или смотреть Baseball's $1 Billion Time Bomb

Baseball has a billion-dollar time bomb about to explode. The game’s financial landscape is spiraling, thanks to a loophole – deferred money. Unlike other sports, MLB has no salary cap and imposes no limits on deferrals, allowing contracts to balloon into gargantuan sums, like Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million deal, which pushes 97% of his salary to be paid after his retirement. This workaround lets the Dodgers sign superstars without major upfront costs, but it also fuels disputes over fair compensation, payroll manipulation, and long-term financial sustainability. While it works for now, the system’s current trajectory threatens the sport’s competitiveness – and risks another strike, like the one in 1994.

Players (and others) relevant to the video: Shohei Ohtani, Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon, Curt Flood, Ted Williams, Catfish Hunter, Bruce Sutter, Bobby Bonilla, Max Scherzer, Chris Davis, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Rafael Devers, Chris Sale, Christian Yelich, Francisco Lindor, J.T.
