Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

The article uses sensational language to describe the contract and its deferral.

Shohei Ohtani signed a $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, shattering the previous MLB record set by former teammate Mike Trout, who inked a $426 million deal in 2019. That was jaw-dropping enough. Then, news dropped Ohtani would defer $680 million of that until 2034.

Use neutral language to describe the contract and its deferral.

Misleading headlines

The headline suggests that Shohei Ohtani explains why he chose to defer the majority of his contract, but the article only provides a brief quote from Ohtani without further explanation.

Provide more detailed explanation from Ohtani about his decision to defer the majority of his contract.

Omission of key information

The article fails to mention the length of Ohtani's contract and the total value of the deferred money.

Despite the annual average value of Ohtani's deal being $70 million, he will be making just $2 million per year the next 10 years, then $68 million annually from 2034 to 2043.

Include the length of Ohtani's contract and the total value of the deferred money.
